Charles brings to customers broad anti-financial crime insight and expertise which he developed over many years in external and in-house legal counsel and compliance positions. Charles is well known for his approach to anti-financial crime and compliance consultancy, which combines strong knowledge of the relevant rulebooks with a good understanding of operational and technical realities across a number of industries. Charles’ previous experience includes leading the compliance function of a European Systematically Important Institution, heading the compliance and legal departments of a fintech bank, and many years of experience as a commercial lawyer acting as external counsel on a large number of transaction.

Outside of Shoulder Compliance, Charles loves to spend time with his family, play the electric bass, read a good book, and getting stuck into long winded arguments over pretty much anything.
