Description

I help banks and financial institutions strengthen IT governance, technology risk frameworks and lead complex digital transformation programmes in highly regulated environments.

With extensive Group-level leadership experience, I have guided a major banking group through its transition to ECB Significant Institution supervision, aligning technology governance, operating models and internal control frameworks with regulatory expectations.

My expertise includes:

• IT Governance & Operating Models

• Technology Risk Management

• ECB & Financial Services Regulation

• Digital Transformation Programme Leadership

• Programme & Portfolio Governance

• Risk, Compliance & Internal Audit Coordination

• Business & IT Alignment

• Executive Advisory

I work closely with executive teams to translate regulatory requirements into practical governance frameworks, improve programme delivery and ensure transformation initiatives create measurable business value.

I am available for strategic advisory, interim management and project-based consulting engagements.

While my background is rooted in banking and financial services, my expertise in governance, transformation and executive advisory is equally valuable for organisations operating in regulated industries or managing complex business and technology change.
