Adela Szakola

Audit, risk and 1st line of defense professional. Keen interest in providing management with new insights and quality delivery. I enjoy individual coaching (CTI Fundamentals) and leading teams through motivation and example.

My primary experience is in risk management, corporate governance, regulatory compliance, Capital and Enterprise Risk. I embrace change. Working as an enterprise agent, I am asked to ‘join the dots’ and gain a wider understanding of the company universe. I enriched my experience by working on enterprise strategic change projects, delivering strategic change across complex organisations. In the last 10 years I’ve held the roles of Head of internal audit/EMEA CAO payments/Strategic projects manager and Head of Sustainability. I currently work as Director, Sustainability in BNY.

In my 20+ years, I covered a range of financial portfolios- retail/wholesale B2B/investments/wealth/project and syndicated finance- and product types. My key focus is on European/UK markets and regulatory expectations.
