I have worked in the financial services sector for almost 15 years as a risk and compliance professional, with roles in banking, consulting and at the UK financial services regulator. I am a qualified mortgage adviser, holding a masters’ degree certificate in dispute resolution and complaint handling and also a qualified workplace first aider.

I currently hold the role of Chief Risk Officer at a global payments institution, with experience in building and managing teams, compliance and monitoring oversight, and risk management.

I have three young children and I am passionate about education, which was a key motivator in deciding to become a Parent Governor.
