This is me
I am a seasoned executive and independent board member with over 15 years of leadership in compliance, corporate governance, and risk management. My career spans highly regulated sectors, including Electronic Money Institutions (EMIs), Payment Institutions (PIs), Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), and investment firms, across key financial jurisdictions such as the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, Japan, and the British Virgin Islands.
Beyond regulatory excellence, my expertise lies in strategic oversight, helping organizations navigate complex regulatory landscapes while driving sustainable growth. As an independent board member at E-Global Holdings and VP Compliance at BVNK, I contribute to corporate governance, financial oversight, and risk-driven decision-making at the executive level.
With deep experience in board advisory, risk strategy, and compliance leadership, I bring a governance-first mindset to organizations looking to strengthen their board with forward-thinking regulatory expertise and strategic risk management. I am open to new non-executive board opportunities where my insights can contribute to long-term success and regulatory resilience.

I provide strategic oversight to help companies align regulatory resilience with long-term success.
The evolving FinTech landscape presents unique governance and regulatory challenges. As technology disrupts traditional financial services, companies must balance innovation with compliance, ensuring long-term sustainability in a shifting regulatory environment. This is especially true in sectors like electronic money, payments, and virtual assets, where regulatory frameworks often lag behind technological advancements.
My expertise lies in helping organizations bridge the gap between innovation, regulatory clarity, and governance best practices. Through my experience as a board advisor and compliance leader, I provide strategic oversight on risk management, regulatory engagement, and corporate governance, ensuring businesses stay ahead of compliance requirements while fostering scalable, future-proof growth.
Beyond compliance program development, I support companies in navigating licensing, regulatory strategy, internal control enhancement, and crisis management. More importantly, I contribute at the board level, helping leadership teams align regulatory integrity with long-term business objectives, ensuring that compliance is not just an obligation but a driver of trust, growth, and operational excellence.
