London, GB
Senior 2LoD security, risk and resilience authority across regulated financial services engagements. Internal Deputy Practice Lead / Resilience Architect for ServiceNow IRM/GRC and SecOps. Led remediation planning for a tier-1 multinational investment bank following extensive audit and regulatory findings under European regulatory scrutiny, restoring delivery stability and regulator confidence within weeks.

Defined and operationalised a Resilience Operations function (manifesto, strategy, operating model, and delivery blueprint) adopted firm-wide as the standard model for regulated clients. Designed approaches to aggregate and rationalise risks, issues, and findings across 1LoD, 2LoD, 3LoD, audit, and regulatory sources into a single prioritised execution backlog. Regularly engaged CISOs, CIOs, Heads of Risk, Internal Audit, and Engineering leaders to align risk intent, governance structure, and delivery reality. Advised on quantitative risk and AI use cases within client GRC ecosystems; authored governance guidance used to scope and govern GRC implementations firm-wide.
