SKILLS
ABOUT DAVID ANSTEE
Operational Risk Manager with a foundation in credit risk and broad experience across governance, controls, and incident response. I support complex, multi-entity environments by embedding risk frameworks that are both practical and resilient, enabling effective decision-making and stronger operational performance.I have led the development of group-wide risk registers, aligned policies across regulated and unregulated entities, introduced key risk indicators to support timely intervention and managed Group Risk Committees. I’ve worked on integrating risk management and control frameworks across newly acquired businesses, resolving group-level issues and embedding consistent standards. My approach is shaped by early experience in financial analysis, underwriting, and collections, particularly in the payments and trade credit sectors. I now focus on cross-functional collaboration, risk-informed strategy, and clear, commercially minded delivery that balances control with adaptability and supports sustainable growth.
