The problem
Compliance reporting was slow and manual, risk management was inefficient, and the workload scaled with every new regulatory requirement rather than with the business.
What I did
Introduced process automation and RegTech tooling for compliance, added risk analytics, and migrated the key systems to cloud infrastructure that could scale with the reporting load.

Other work
All case studies →- Professional services
A project office that lives in a git repository
Project knowledge lived in people's heads and chat threads, and AI tools were producing confident documents with no provenance. I made the repository the single source of truth and gave every project management role a written protocol.
- Enterprise software
Data and people existed; the process and the cockpit did not
A delivery assurance function owned everything and controlled nothing. I diagnosed nineteen gaps, designed the target operating model, and put stop conditions in the roadmap so it could not become another initiative nobody uses.
- Software outsourcing
ISO 9001 from nothing to certified in 12 weeks
A certified quality management system built from a blank page at a remote-first software company, carried by six people at under a third of their time.
