I have held board-level executive and non-executive positions in the financial services industry with a focus on investment banking, asset management, derivatives and emerging markets. This includes regulated positions under SMCR and experience of obtaining regulatory approval from the FCA and PRA in relation to challenger banking and alternative finance structures. I have experience of many developed and emerging jurisdictions across Europe, Africa and the Americas, including the Caribbean and Latin America. I combine this with relevant experience in: politics, having held elected office and chaired public bodies; law, being called to the Bar; policy, having acted as policy director for a prominent asset management trade body, including policy paper authorship and submissions to regulators and government, and; finance and business education, as a Professor of Finance.
