I graduated with a degree in Computing Science and began my career at Deloitte in the Technology Assurance and Advisory practice. I qualified as a chartered accountant and gained valuable experience working with UK insurance and banking firms.
In 2015, I joined Royal London Group, starting in Group Internal Audit, which equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of our business. I was promoted to Group Chief Audit Officer in 2018, serving for four years during a period of strategic transformation under a new Group CEO. In 2022, I was entrusted with leading the development of the organisation’s data capabilities to support Royal London’s insight-led, purpose-driven strategy.
As the Group Chief Data and AI Officer, I established the Group Data Office, establishing our target state for data, and setting out our strategy. Our focus has been on building out our data platform and data management capabilities. We are now putting those capabilities to use for the benefit of our members, customers, and colleagues and embracing new AI breakthroughs.
