• Deep understanding of transformation risk, operational resilience, regulatory expectations and controlled implementation in a UK‑regulated bank.
• Proven leadership of large multidisciplinary teams and strategic partners through ambiguity, conflict and high‑pressure transition events.
• Candid, enterprise‑minded decision maker who creates accountability, challenges constructively and is prepared to slow or stop unsafe activity.
