A career focused on investigations, compliance, and forensics
I started my career at Ernst & Young in London, where I spent eight years in the Forensic & Integrity Services practice developing deep expertise in anti-bribery investigations, financial irregularity work, and compliance audits across pharma, retail, manufacturing, and oil & gas.
At J.S. Held, I solidified my leadership in forensic accounting, FCPA audits, and complex litigation support — directing investigations, advising C-suites on remediation, and building damages models used in trial proceedings.
Today at Accenture, I bring that investigative and compliance background to bear on large-scale ethics and compliance transformations — helping healthcare and life sciences clients reinvent their compliance functions through culture assessment, data analytics, and AI-forward thinking.
