I'm a financial executive with 25 years of financial industry work experience, primarily within asset management, focused on investment risk management and oversight of investment management. I pride myself in being a results oriented professional with strong leadership and communication skills. Having grown up in Montreal, I'm bilingual, and I'm able to speak French fluently. I have gained progressive risk management experience now overseeing all types of risks (investment and operational & regulatory compliance risk) and focusing on enhancing the risk culture & risk governance within a business. I'm also experienced at providing risk leadership with business stakeholders by setting a longer term risk vision towards enhancing risk frameworks including risk committees, risk policies, risk appetites and key risk indicators. Since 2007 I have taken on leadership roles focused on empowering people to build and leverage their strengths & interests, while simultaneously setting high standards for work output. I have developed the ability to communicate effectively, with ability to translate complex risk concepts into simple, clear and concise business language that is meaningful to diverse audiences.
