Her final role was as Global Head of Governance & Regulations for a major international bank based in Amsterdam. Her current portfolio includes being a Trustee of the Finborough Theatre, an acclaimed fringe theatre in West London, a Mentor under the Mansion House Scholar Scheme as a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of International Bankers and an External Assessor for the College of Policing.
