Helping legacy banks move fast and not break things

Experience with these companies...
...plus many others

Helping leaders of FinTechs and Challenger Banks through the unique operations challenges they face

Scaling processes while balancing customer experience;

Delivering cross-functional projects at speed with teams that have competing priorities;

Building and rebuilding high performance teams through the frequent reorgs that scaling requires;

…all while preventing costs from spiralling out of control and remaining compliant with current regulations.

I help FinTech CxOs scale their operations, their team, and themselves.

Impact Examples:

Cost Efficiency & Strategic Alignment: Led IT strategy and vendor selection for a major Climate Financial Data Firm, achieving a 37% reduction in IT costs while aligning with business values.

Rapid Organisational Growth: Oversaw the development of financial services go-to-market and advisory practice strategies, contributing to growth from 80 to over 250 employees.

Strategic Vision & Funding Acquisition: Developed a bank's strategic vision through Board workshops, securing £20m in funding and streamlining the Mobilisation phase exit.

Board and Regulator Communication: Created the Board business case for a £30m+ Mortgage Transformation programme plus PRA attestation and regulatory workstream delivery to ensure compliance.

Payment Operations Leadership: Established and expanded a major bank's Payment Operations function, focusing on scalable and efficient management of cards, suppliers, and payment schemes.

Hello 👋

Ever used a bright neon Monzo card? That's a snippet of my work. I orchestrated the ops, processes, and suppliers behind those hot choral cards. Before moving into digital banking, my foundation in Financial Services was built consulting in London and Johannesburg for giants like Barclays and Standard Bank.

Playing a part in Monzo's hyper-growth from a tight-knit team of 50 to a bustling 1,500+ was nothing short of exhilarating.

I now channel my hands-on experience to help leaders of FinTech businesses and Banks through the unique delivery and change challenges they face.
