01

Financial crime + data

Global Transaction-Monitoring Data Integrity and Controls

Building evidence that monitoring systems receive the complete and correct data they are expected to process.

Context

A global transaction-monitoring environment spanning retail, wholesale, multiple legal entities and complex source-to-monitoring data journeys.

Challenge

Aggregate reporting could not by itself prove that all required transaction and customer data reached monitoring completely, correctly and with sufficient evidence.

Personal role

Global lead for Transaction Monitoring Data Strategy and Data Controls Management, leading international teams and senior governance engagement.

Approach

Strengthened the Data Integrity Control Framework across completeness, correctness, reconciliation, lineage, issue management, ownership and executive evidence.

Outcome

A more structured and defensible control environment, clearer accountability and stronger evidence of transaction-monitoring data integrity across approximately 30 jurisdictions and 38 legal entities.

02

Payments transformation

End-to-End UK Faster Payments Delivery

Connecting business requirements, architecture, testing, resilience and live implementation for critical payments infrastructure.

Context

Development of a new high-volume UK payments capability involving banks, central infrastructure, settlement integration, technology delivery and operational readiness.

Challenge

The programme had to move from an emerging industry concept to a reliable live service while addressing scale, performance, security, recovery and cross-bank dependencies.

Personal role

Served as project manager, led business-analysis and architecture coordination, and maintained the programme relationship with the Bank of England for a sustained period.

Approach

Led key components from scope and requirements through non-functional requirements, integration, UAT, operational testing, resilience, implementation and warranty.

Outcome

Helped translate an ambitious payment concept into an operationally credible service with defined requirements, tested resilience, implementation controls and early-life support.

03

European payments

European SEPA Transformation Across 18 Countries

Re-establishing control, funding and delivery confidence across a complex multi-country regulatory payments programme.

Context

A major banking group with multiple heritage businesses, business segments and significant European payment-change obligations.

Challenge

The programme required recovery and stronger governance to align scope, funding, technology, operations and regulatory readiness across 18 countries.

Personal role

Senior programme manager responsible for business-case development, programme recovery, payments and regulatory change, risk approvals and stakeholder alignment.

Approach

Reframed and mobilised the programme, secured Board approval, coordinated cross-jurisdiction delivery and led operational-risk and readiness assessments.

Outcome

Established a more controlled and credible route to regulatory compliance and payment modernisation across a complex European banking environment.

04

Operational resilience

Critical-Supplier, Location and Concentration-Risk Frameworks

Turning broad dependency concerns into assessment methods, controls, ownership and regulatory evidence.

Context

A global banking business with material supplier, geographic, workforce and technology dependencies supporting critical services.

Challenge

Existing processes did not provide sufficiently consistent identification, assessment, ownership or evidence of critical-supplier and concentration risks.

Personal role

Senior programme and risk-transformation leadership across methodology design, risk appetite, control frameworks, first-line embedding and audit remediation.

Approach

Developed critical-supplier controls, location and concentration-risk methodologies, preventative and detective controls, governance and reporting.

Outcome

More structured risk identification, clearer control ownership and stronger evidence for senior, audit and UK regulatory stakeholders.

05

Data transformation

Large-Scale Data Governance and Migration Readiness

Ensuring that critical data remains controlled, traceable and usable through a major asset-transfer programme.

Context

A major UK financial-services asset-transfer and migration programme involving complex datasets and downstream risk, reporting and analytics dependencies.

Challenge

Technical transfer milestones alone could not resolve questions about lineage, ownership, quality, usability and operational acceptance.

Personal role

Business and data consultant leading governance, data quality, testing and migration-readiness activities across stakeholder groups.

Approach

Defined key-data-element governance, lineage and traceability, coordinated data-quality and testing activity and assessed migration readiness and downstream usability.

Outcome

Provided a stronger basis for controlled migration and trusted use of transferred datasets across risk, reporting, analytics and future automation.

Additional evidence

Further experience available for targeted mandates

Financial-crime remediation

Risk-based methodology, data sourcing, analytics, investigation workflows, quality assurance and support for MLRO/SAR decisions.

KYC/UBO continuous controls

Operating-model design, data lineage, ongoing due-diligence improvement and business/control requirements for an advanced-analytics proof of concept.

Critical-infrastructure disaster recovery

Project-managed an end-to-end recovery programme for UK critical national infrastructure, scaling from fewer than 20 to more than 115 delivery resources.

SWIFT standardisation and consolidation

Project-managed a server and application upgrade and consolidation across ten jurisdictions, focused on standardisation and cost reduction.

Publication control

Credibility without breaching confidence

Case studies are deliberately anonymised. Named institutions appear only in the About and career context where appropriate; no employer logos are used.

Programme figures, control incidents, internal systems and regulatory findings remain withheld where they are confidential, not independently public or unnecessary to demonstrate the capability.

Employer and programme references describe prior personal experience and do not imply endorsement of Resolvo Advisory, NFRisk or DQIntegrity.
