EXECUTIVE TRANSFORMATION LEADER | ORGANISATIONAL PSYCHOLOGIST | REGTECH SPECIALIST
I blend 30+ years of Executive experience, P&L ownership (turnover to £500m), and large-scale operations (15k+ FTE), with a Doctorate in Organisational Psychology to ignite transformational change in Financial Services, RegTech, FinTech, and BPO. From transforming and scaling global operations, flipping double-digit EBITDA turnarounds, to deploying AI-driven financial crime solutions for 60+ Tier 1 financial institutions annually, I've tackled the 'perfect storm' of modern business challenges: distributed teams, regulatory pressures, sub-optimal business processes, constrained resources, and behavioural barriers to performance.
My executive journey—managing a $500M P&L, leading £600m outsourcing projects, £100m remediations at major banks, and large-scale operations—revealed why personality dynamics drive (or derail) distributed team success. Now, I apply research-backed strategies in behavioural change, compliance, and AI transformation, turning theory into repeatable outcomes. Explore my achievements and profile.
The breadth of my experience is unique and my impact is incomparable.
