In 2017, Vanessa became the Head of Compliance and the Money Laundering Reporting Officer for the firm, having over 30 years of experience in financial services. She started her career as a Sales Trader at BZW Securities Ltd in 1992. Those early years enabled Vanessa to gain a deep understanding of markets, client needs and the fast-paced nature of a front office role.
About a decade ago, Vanessa made the career shift from front office trading to compliance. Vanessa joined Williams de Broe as a Compliance Manager and then went on to work at several private client and asset management UK firms. This allowed her to apply her commercial and trading experience to help strengthen regulatory frameworks and promote a strong culture of governance and integrity.
Three years ago Vanessa also took on the role as Head of Human Resources.
Vanessa has a BA Hons degree and is a member of the Executive Committee. She has completed London Stock Exchange Exams and she holds the SMF 16/17 position within the firm.
