ABOUT LOUISE COAD

With seven years of experience spanning both private consultancy and public sector regulation, I\'ve learned that effective compliance isn\'t about ticking boxes—it\'s about understanding your business and building practical frameworks that actually work.I\'ve served as Head of Compliance and Senior Consultant in private practice, and as Senior Regulator and Acting Practice Lead in the public sector. This dual perspective gives me a unique understanding of compliance from both sides of the table. I know what regulators are looking for, and I know what businesses need to operate successfully.My expertise covers a diverse range of sectors including real estate, legal services, cryptocurrency, and financial services. Whether I\'m conducting audits, developing comprehensive compliance programs, or helping teams understand their AML obligations, my approach is always the same: pragmatic, tailored, and focused on real-world application.I\'m passionate about demystifying regulatory obligations and helping organizations build compliance cultures that protect their business while enabling growth. As a Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS), I stay at the forefront of evolving regulations and best practices.Always happy to connect with fellow compliance professionals, business leaders, and anyone navigating the regulatory landscape.
