ABOUT PETER ADEWOYE
I am an operational risk and economic crime professional with experience across UK banking and Big Four consulting, specialising in enterprise risk, controls, and assurance within regulated financial services environments.My career in financial services began in AML and compliance, where I supported financial crime risk reporting, investigations, and control effectiveness reviews across high-risk customers and transactions within a large banking organisation. This early exposure provided a strong grounding in regulatory discipline, governance processes, and risk-based decision-making.I subsequently moved into branch-level responsibility, holding operational accountability for customer onboarding, transaction activity, and financial crime controls. This period provided direct experience of frontline risk ownership, people management, and real-time operational decision-making, deepening my understanding of how risk frameworks and controls operate in live business environments.I then returned to AML and compliance roles within the bank with increased scope and maturity, supporting more complex investigations, regulatory and FIU reporting, governance activity, and escalation of material risk issues. This combination of compliance expertise and operational leadership created a balanced foundation across both risk design and risk execution.I later joined Ernst and Young, where I worked with financial services clients on enterprise risk assessments, control design, compliance monitoring programmes, and regulatory-aligned assurance. My work focused on translating complex risk and control issues into clear governance and board-facing insights to support senior decision-making.I currently operate within a UK retail bank, providing enterprise oversight of economic crime and operational risk controls. My role centres on shaping risk taxonomies, assessing control effectiveness, managing governance and escalation, and contributing to emerging risk analysis and senior management reporting. I work closely with senior stakeholders and risk owners to strengthen control environments and support informed, risk-based decisions.Across my career, I have developed a reputation for sound judgement, clarity of communication, and the ability to bridge frontline realities with enterprise risk expectations. I am CAMS-certified, with a continued focus on broadening enterprise risk, assurance, and governance capability within regulated financial services.
