About

“As a bank executive for more than 12 years, I have seen advances in governance, risk and compliance capabilities as well as the evolution of the GRC landscape”

I have always been sensitive to the need to have a clear plan and effective execution when it comes to GRC programs. A strong enterprise-wide team with a clear plan executing in a collaborative way is the best approach. I started High Peaks Solutions to help firms collaboratively drive GRC strategies and maintain peak performance to stay one step ahead of the evolving landscape.”
