An accomplished Chief Privacy Officer (CPO) and DPO, regulatory leader with over 30 years’ experience in privacy, cybersecurity, AI and data governance, delivering strategic transformation, regulatory compliance, and operational excellence across public, private, and financial sectors.

As a market-leading trusted advisor, advising global organisations, financial institutions, and government bodies on privacy law, information rights, and AI governance. I have led large-scale regulatory transformations, embedding agile governance models, financial resilience, and high-impact security strategies.

Previously, as Interim DPO at the Bank of England, I ensured GDPR compliance, risk management, and regulatory alignment at a national scale. A trusted advisor to ministers, boards, and senior executives, I specialise in governance, financial oversight, regulatory strategy, and leading high-performing teams in complex, highly regulated environments.
