I'm Osh Wijemanne, and I help organisations figure out how to build resilient institutions and fight corruption. Over the last 10+ years, I have helped global banks, Fortune 500 companies, and governments across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America to build resilient institutions.

My focus lies where organisational strategy, integrity, and governance meet. I design compliance programmes that pull together the core suite of integrity risks into integrated institutional frameworks, covering Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption (ABAC), Anti-Money Laundering & Counter Terrorist Financing (AML/CTF), Sanctions, Fraud, and other prohibited practices.

Lately, a big part of that work has been figuring out how AI and advanced analytics fit into institutional oversight, from sharpening risk detection and speeding up decision-making, to supporting everything from risk assessments to onboarding and due diligence. But I also spend a lot of time making sure there's human oversight and accountability behind those AI-assisted decision, so it holds up when someone asks "why."

I've been Chief Compliance Officer of a large publicly listed multinational, led the Anti-Corruption practice at a Big Four professional services firm, and worked as Senior Legal Counsel at a Tier 1 U.S. G-SIFI. Along the way I've supported remediation programmes under U.S. DOJ deferred prosecution and plea agreements, and led compliance transformations for some of the world’s largest organisations.

I also care a lot about culture. And I believe that you can have the best strategy in the world, but without the right culture, you’re building on quicksand. So, I also help organisations to also design culture as a measurable, governable asset alongside their integrity programmes.

I'm a Solicitor of the Supreme Court of New South Wales, Australia, and a member of the International Bar Association. I hold an LL.M., a J.D., and a B.S. in Political Science and International Relations.
