Global Corporate & Investment Bank
MD - Compliance Solutions & Strategy
The Situation
Our client, one of the world’s largest
昀椀nancial institutions, listed as a Global
Systemically Important Bank by the
Financial Stability Board and regulated
in the UK by both the FCA and the
PRA, faced succession planning and
modernisation issues within its substantial
EMEA compliance function. Having
worked with this institution on a repeat
basis for nearly two decades, we were
selected to assist the regional Chief
Compliance Of昀椀cer in addressing
these issues through the appointment
of a new Managing Director to her
leadership team.
Our Process
The individual’s mandate was to
take on the modernisation of the
compliance function through in-depth
analysis of capabilities and solutions
and addressing issues encountered,
in order to bring the function up to
modern best practice standards. The
right person, it was felt, would also
position themselves as a successor to
the regional Chief Compliance Of昀椀cer
within a reasonable timeframe.
The Outcome
We mapped the market and leveraged the assistance of our most senior contacts in
order to identify a small selection of truly relevant and potentially available candidates,
factoring in the multi-faceted requirements of the pro昀椀le and the particularities of
the institution. We managed a number of very senior individuals through a lengthy
interview process in order to secure for our client one of the regional corporate and
investment banking industry’s most capable compliance specialists.
