Cross-border financial crime, sovereign asset recovery, and sensitive internal investigations. Twenty-five years where conventional channels stop.
Profile
I am a career investigator, retained for the matters that turn on judgement, interview craft and documentary discipline, where conventional pathways are closed. The work spans sovereign asset recovery, cross-border financial crime, and sensitive internal and ethics investigations, conducted to evidentiary standard and built to withstand regulatory and legal scrutiny. The investigation is the work. Compliance is the tool.
