ABOUT

Having worked on both sides of the industry for the past 25 years, I became increasingly frustrated by the apparent disconnect between the “ theory” and “practice” sides of the Compliance function. I recognised that this presented a great opportunity to offer a flexible solution to organisations that are not in a position to commit, for whatever reason, to a full time compliance overhead. This in turn gave me the inspiration and encouragement to embark on the Cornhill Compliance journey.

 

By way of background,  I am a dual qualified Solicitor (both Scotland and England) and worked in Asia for 5 years as a corporate finance lawyer in the Hong Kong office of Stephenson Harwood. I then spent the next 10 years in London with Merrill Lynch, HSBC and Credit Suisse in equity capital markets roles before joining the pan-European investment funds team at ABN AMRO. This gave me exposure to marketing a range of alternative investment products to a broad client base, including private wealth management groups, pension funds and family offices. 

 

My mission is to provide the best and most practical advice founded on “real life" knowledge and global experience. We live in an increasingly fast-changing environment which meant the need to develop an agile model and be task oriented. My passion is to ensure that I can deliver timely, pragmatic and compliant advice that enables the ongoing success of my clients’ businesses.
