He believes that his entire career spent as a first line banker gives him particular insight and empathy with first and second line bankers doing their best to fight financial crime.

Mark’s banking career spans more than three decades.

From 2009 to 2015 he was Head of Enhanced Due Diligence [EDD] for HSBC and in conjunction with Financial Crime Compliance colleagues shaped the EDD process during a period when HSBC was under intense period of regulatory scrutiny.

During this period Mark also undertook an 18 month project for HSBC to manage and re-align their financial institutions practice in sub-Saharan Africa.

Immediately prior to HSBC, Mark was Global Head of Financial Institutions for Standard Bank of South Africa.  Managing a business that was completely devoted to emerging markets in Africa, the Middle East, Russia and CIS was a defining experience for Mark as during his entire career he has taken a keen interest in developing economies.

Prior to this Mark worked with first Barclays and then ABN AMRO over a 25 year period as a first line banker with portfolios of corporate clients and financial institutions developing and expanding their diverse international businesses.

 

Since leaving HSBC in 2015 Mark has been advising banks and a significant UK Government department on many aspects of financial crime prevention.  This has included developing and improving financial crime control models as well as undertaking interim Head of Financial Crime assignments.
