At the Skillfinder Group, I head up our consulting services function called Coventus Consulting.
My role is to manage and oversee activities for our clients who require more traditional consulting services. We offer a full statement of work service, delivering defined projects across regulatory, compliance, change management, and SimCorp projects.
Working across all market sectors with a focus on business projects in the regulatory and compliance space, inclusive of Asset Management software such as SimCorp. I am someone who moves with the market in our industry and goes where our clients need us most. I am currently very busy with the new DORA change projects being rolled out across Europe.
In my spare time, I am a committee member and player (Flanker) at a local Twickenham rugby team.
