I have worked with Boards, executives and senior teams in the oversight of the risk, compliance, internal control and governance frameworks of international and domestic financial institutions. My prior and current work involves the assessment of the risk and control frameworks in credit institutions through the performance of oversight in discreet risk areas including credit, conduct, compliance, financial crime, liquidity, regulatory and operational risks. I have gained a wide range of experience working as a consultant, in a regulatory environment and at Executive level in financial institutions. I have also contributed to policy development as part of the Single Supervision Mechanism Networks and as a member of the EBA Standing Committee on Oversight and Practices. I have a detailed knowledge of the legal framework of the SSM and the Irish financial services sector. I have extensive experience of leading large teams in the evaluation, assessment and remediation of risks in financial services firms. I have broad experience of leading teams through complex change. I am a people and outcome focused leader and I place importance on building and motivating teams by empowering people to develop, innovate and be accountable for delivering strong, efficient and effective outcomes. I have well-developed and practiced communication, influencing and negotiation skills gained through years of experience supervising large financial institutions and engaging with European counterparts on common issues and policy development. I am able to effectively draw on my policy development and implementation experience to achieve successful outcomes. I believe in the importance of effective stakeholder engagement, relationship building and collaborative working as an essential part of my leadership approach.
