Freelancer Overview

With 7+ years of compliance and risk governance experience across APRA and ASIC regulated financial services, I bring a rigorous, frameworks-first approach to compliance that translates directly into the fast-evolving regulatory landscape facing AI and technology companies. My experience building and maintaining Compliance Management Frameworks, embedding obligations management practices, and advising senior stakeholders on emerging regulatory requirements positions me well to help an AI-focused organisation navigate the growing body of AI governance obligations, including Australia's voluntary AI Ethics Framework, the EU AI Act's extraterritorial reach, and the increasing scrutiny from regulators like ASIC on algorithmic decision-making in financial services contexts. What sets me apart is the combination of regulator-side experience having assessed high-risk licence applications at ASIC and hands-on framework-building in complex, multi-entity organisations. I understand how regulators think, what they look for, and how to translate ambiguous or emerging obligations into practical controls and accountable governance structures. For an AI company operating at the frontier of regulatory uncertainty, that ability to build compliance infrastructure from the ground up, horizon scan effectively, and engage credibly with regulators is directly applicable regardless of whether the underlying subject matter is financial products or AI systems.
