I am a Global Anti-Corruption and Institutional Integrity Executive with over 15 years of experience designing, operationalising, and overseeing integrity risk management frameworks across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America. I have advised Globally Systemically Important Financial Institutions (G-SIFIs), Fortune 500 companies, and governments on strengthening institutional integrity and building resilient governance systems.
My work sits at the intersection of organisational strategy, institutional integrity, and technology-enabled governance. I specialise in designing integrated compliance programmes that combine the core suit of integrity risks, including Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption (ABAC), Anti-Money Laundering & Counter Terrorist Financing (AML/CTF), sanctions, and fraud prevention into cohesive, integrated institutional frameworks.
Today, a core component of this work involves leveraging AI, advanced analytics, and technology-enabled controls to strengthen institutional oversight, improve risk detection capabilities, and enhance decision-making across the integrity risk lifecycle — from risk assessments and control design to compliance assurance, remediation, and KYC/Enhanced Due Diligence. And I govern how these tools are deployed ensuring human oversight, accountability frameworks, and data governance standards that make AI-assisted compliance decisions defensible.
My career spans roles as Chief Compliance Officer of a publicly listed multinational, Anti-Corruption and Third-Party Management practice leader at a Big Four Firm, and Senior Legal Counsel at 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.
My work also centres on cultural transformation programmes that extend beyond conventional training and awareness. My approach aims to enhance accountability, foster ethical decision-making, and reinforce long-term institutional resilience by treating culture as a strategic risk discipline, making it measurable, governable, and linked to resilience and institutional legitimacy.
I am admitted as a Solicitor of the Supreme Court of New South Wales, Australia, and am a member of the International Bar Association. I hold a Master of Laws (LL.M.), Juris Doctor (J.D.), and Bachelor of Science in Political Science and International Relations.
