I have led numerous successful authorisation and licensing applications with UK and Swiss regulators, including the FCA and PRA, for a variety of firms across banking, digital assets, and financial services. My expertise spans navigating complex regulatory requirements, managing risk assessments, and ensuring businesses are well-prepared for regulatory inspections and compliance reviews. I specialise in supporting digital asset businesses through regulatory licensing, firm-wide risk assessments, and policy development, enabling clients to gain and maintain regulatory approval with confidence.
Most recently I have:
- Supported a FinTech bank through the Bank of England Authorisations process (drafting the Regulatory Business Plan)
- Supported a Wholesale Broker with a Variation of Permission and revised ICARA.
- Successfully led a Swiss VQF application for a digital asset firm
- Led a MIFID application with the FCA for an Energy Derivatives trading firm
