EXECUTIVE INSIGHT
Q . DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN THREE WORDS
» Optimist , conscientious , striver .
Q . IS WHERE YOU ARE NOW ANYTHING LIKE YOU ENVISAGED YOUR JOB TO BE GROWING UP ? WHAT WAS YOUR DREAM JOB AS A CHILD ?
» As a child , I really enjoyed travelling to far-flung places with my family and so I wanted a job that would allow me to travel . My dream jobs when I was younger had travel as a consistent theme : a British Airways flight attendant and a globetrotting interior designer – both quite different from what I do !
Today , I help clients all over the world manage risk , fight financial crime and meet their compliance regulatory obligations efficiently and effectively , using disruptive technology and blend-shore managed services . So , while I didn ’ t become a flight attendant , I ’ m grateful that in all my roles , I ’ ve managed to satisfy my travel bug .
Q . WHAT ’ S THE BEST THING ABOUT YOUR ROLE TODAY , WHAT INSPIRES YOU IN YOUR WORK ? CONVERSELY , WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES YOU HAVE TO OVERCOME IN YOUR ROLE ?
» What inspires me at work is that the solutions my team provides really help our clients manage risk and stop the bad guys from enjoying their ill-gotten gains . Criminals and fraudsters who commit
financial crimes thrive in dark corners . It ’ s here that my team gives clients the tools and techniques to shine a light on potential bad actors and stem the flow of dirty money through our financial system .
Q . FRAUD AND FINANCIAL CRIME ARE ON THE RISE IN FINANCIAL SERVICES . HOW IMPORTANT IS HAVING THE RIGHT FCC FRAMEWORKS IN PLACE FOR CAPGEMINI TODAY ?
» It is vital . If a regulated financial institution wants to maintain its licence to do business , it must be able to demonstrate to regulators that it has an effective FCC framework that is proportionate to its scale and complexity . Crucially , this framework must be commensurate with the firm ’ s risk
