Specialist areas of work and services:
Description:
I am the programme director for an NGO that focuses on private sector engagement for the purpose of combatting modern slavery across industries.
Experience, Background and Services:
I am the Programme Director at The Mekong Club, an NGO dedicated to combatting modern slavery through private sector collaboration. Interested in harnessing the power of business for the benefit of society, promoting fair work, equality, and a more inclusive world.
I work with companies spanning financial service providers, hospitality companies, retailers and manufacturers to identify, mitigate, and prevent modern slavery exposure and risk. My expertise lies in the role of the private sector in addressing modern slavery issues, supporting companies with every step of an effective modern slavery strategy, from policy development to training to remediation.
Prior to the Mekong Club I was an anti-money laundering specialist working to improve the identification, assessment, and mitigation of financial crime risk across HSBC Global Commercial Banking. Coordinating Country and Regional level teams in providing targeted assessments of financial crime risk in their portfolios, and providing dedicated financial crime risk coaching where knowledge gaps are identified.
