I am the global lead of Regulatory Market Initiatives at Deutsche Bank. I represent Deutsche Bank on several Trade Association Committees and Working Groups as well as Regulatory Market Infrastructure and third party vendor committees.

I scan the global horizon looking at new regulatory obligations Deutsche Bank will be impacted by and assess that impact. Through the regulatory lifecycle I work with Trade Associations, Market Infrastructure and our peers to advocate with Competent Authorities to minimise the negative impact on the industry. I also work with internal and external stakeholders to build regulatory solutions such as Industry Best Practices, creation of new Utilities & the fostering of innovative Technology to meet our collective obligations.

Prior to joining Deutsche Bank I have worked at Barclays, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Northern Rock and BNP Paribas on the implementation of Regulatory obligations in particular as they impact the Front and Middle Office. Before that I worked in various Front Office and Middle Office roles at Royal Bank of Scotland, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan, Standard Chartered Bank, UBS and the EBRD.
