## About

```text
At Takeda, I lead Ethics & Compliance for the UK & Ireland, partnering with senior leaders and Commercial, Medical and R&D teams on risk, governance and business ethics. I designed and implemented a risk-based third-party audit programme and continue to lead its delivery, using findings to focus oversight and drive CAPAs.

I chair the UK & Ireland Compliance Committee and lead risk assessment, monitoring and assurance. I also review cross-border interactions and lead significant compliance reviews and investigations, translating requirements and risk insights into practical action.

Previously, at GSK, I led risk-based audits and advised leaders on compliance and internal controls. At JUUL Labs and Gilead Sciences, I developed and implemented regional compliance, monitoring and risk assessment programmes across EMEA.
