I started SRS Consultants to be different. With a belief that business, executive leadership and in particular the domains of risk, control and assurance can be unstoppably powerful when coupled with humanity, real world practicality, energy and purpose. Having spent 24 years leading audit teams in large Financial Services organisations and with regulatory approvals in the UK and EU, I know how tough and demanding the challenges are. And the highest quality that is needed to be successful. I also know that the real "sweet spot" moments happen when these challenges are met with technical excellence yes, but also with passion, human connection across departments and teams, a sense of mission and a focus on real world solutions and practicality. My passion is to bring those experiences, perspectives and capabilities to your organisation. And to also unashamedly bring enthusiasm, energy and personality to areas that might traditionally need a boost of such!
