About Yvonne Lovins

I bring over 25 years of experience in financial reporting, and governance, risk, and compliance shaped by leading global teams and building governance, risk and compliance functions for growing companies in the healthcare and manufacturing sectors. I’ve worked with audit and governance committees at those companies, where I’ve helped strengthen enterprise risk frameworks while advising the building of strong compliance and governance practices and embedding them within the company. I have a continuous improvement and efficiency mindset that has driven my passion to work for growing companies. As a board director, I will contribute by providing a data-driven lens of governance, risk and compliance combined with strategic-minded decision making. With this perspective, I have a focus on helping companies grow while continuing to maintain strong ethical standards while also continuously improving through efficient and effective processes.
