With over 40 years of extensive experience in the global financial services industry, my deep-seated passion for understanding the human condition drives me to foster cultural evolution and enhance human well-being through business leadership. As the President of the Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors, I lead a dedicated team in advancing the profession and championing excellence in internal audit practices. Throughout my career, I've been captivated by the intricate dynamics of human interaction within organizations. As a seasoned corporate governance expert, I specialize in crafting and transforming organizational culture, serving as a trusted advisor to boards and executive teams, and advocating for positive workplace environments rooted in empathy and understanding. In addition to my leadership at the Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors, I've led internal audit functions, operated my own successful businesses, and served as a Non-Executive Director (NED), contributing to the strategic direction of various organizations. My commitment to fostering meaningful change extends to consulting on internal audit strategies, promoting holistic well-being practices, and driving positive societal impact. As an entrepreneur, I've co-founded and managed businesses, fueled by my belief in the transformative power of human connection and empathy. I firmly believe that businesses have the potential to not only drive economic prosperity but also to enrich the human experience and promote societal well-being. With a profound understanding of corporate governance principles, a wealth of experience in navigating complex regulatory environments, and an unwavering focus on diversity, equity, inclusion, and social conscience, I am dedicated to making a lasting impact. Let's connect and collaborate to create a brighter, more inclusive future for organizations and individuals alike.
