Head Of Compliance

Corporate governance specialist, with expertise and qualification in strategic planning and change, as well as an award-winning auditor, with a focus on risk management and mitigation to enable efficiency and growth.

Prior to joining the Securitatem Group, Suzanne spent 23 years transforming local, national and international policing, finishing her law enforcement career at the National Crime Agency (NCA). During her tenure Suzanne led the introduction of a new organisation-wide operating model (circa 5,000 staff) at the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), managed Sussex Police’s cultural switch from ensuring compliance to pursuing excellence, and facilitated the introduction of data exploitation alongside more traditional operational techniques at the NCA. Suzanne is also a renowned facilitator, being used by Europol and many National fora on a plethora of topics.

Working alongside the NAO, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate and the Home Office, Suzanne designed and spear-headed a robust internal audit function for the NCA auditing all processes (operational, administrative and financial), to ensure legislative compliance, the efficient use of public funds, and protecting the Agency from irregularity, corruption and reputational damage.

Suzanne also spent two years transforming Anti-Doping in the UK through the introduction of performance management and activity analysis, culminating in a new strategic plan and hugely successful grant in aid bid, despite times of austerity.

Suzanne has operated as a Certified Management Consultant and Advisor to many boards, both public and private, as well as guiding the Home Office on issues of legislative operational deployment. She was also a tutor for six years at the National School of Government, working with delegates to understand compliance, performance, strategic planning and process re-engineering – all modules in a Consultancy Diploma.
