I am an Integrity, Risk & Compliance Specialist with over 15 years of experience designing, operationalising, and overseeing integrity risk management frameworks across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America. I have advised and supported globally Systemically Important Financial Institutions (G-SIFIs), Fortune 500 companies, and governments.

My primary focus is on designing technology-enabled controls to detect, prevent, and mitigate integrity risks and other prohibited practices, alongside AI governance and data oversight frameworks for their tools. I cover the full integrity risk lifecycle — from risk assessments and control design to compliance assurance, remediation, and KYC/Enhanced Due Diligence.

I have served as Chief Compliance Officer of a large publicly listed multinational organisation, led the Third-Party Risk Management practice at a Big Four professional services firm, and served as a of Senior Legal Counsel advising on financial crime and integrity risk management within a Tier 1 U.S. G-SIFI.

In these roles, I supported complex remediation programmes under deferred prosecution agreements and plea agreements with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), and led large-scale compliance transformation initiatives for multinational organisations and government entities, enabling them to leverage technology and AI tools to manage risk at scale and operate with greater safety in high-risk environments.

I am admitted as a Solicitor of the Supreme Court of New South Wales, Australia, and am a member of the International Bar Association’s Anti-Corruption Committee. I hold a Master of Laws (LL.M.), a Juris Doctor (J.D.), and a Bachelor of Science in Political Science and International Relations.
