Operational risk professional with expertise in financial services.
United KingdomI am an operational risk professional with over 7 years of experience in the financial services sector. My career has been dedicated to delivering strong risk governance and enhancing processes across investment management operations.

I am passionate about embedding robust risk management practices within operational teams to ensure that we maintain a high level of control and accountability.
