Two decades of regulatory expertise
With over twenty years of experience, including nine years as Head of Compliance and MLRO for a bank, Gary brings extensive industry understanding gained through senior governance and oversight roles. For eight of those years, he held both the SMF16 (Compliance Oversight) and SMF17 (MLRO) senior manager functions under the Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SM&CR).
A trusted leader in financial crime and compliance risk management, he helps firms implement logical, compliant solutions that are practical and closely aligned with their business objectives.
Gary founded Clarionet Consulting to give fintechs and smaller financial services firms access to the same quality of expert compliance guidance that large institutions expect, delivered in a way that is proportionate, practical, and commercially aware.
Gary regularly contributes articles to GRIP on FCA regulation and financial crime, covering the challenges facing the industry.
