I work with insurance companies and financial institutions facing regulatory, legal and compliance challenges in complex and evolving environments.
My role is to bring clarity, structure and practical direction at the intersection of regulatory requirements, supervisory expectations and business realities.

ABOUT ME
Professional background
With more than 18 years of experience in insurance law, compliance and financial regulation, I have built a solid and in-depth understanding of regulatory frameworks, supervisory expectations and the realities faced by insurance companies and financial institutions.
My career spans international consulting firms, insurance groups and regulated environments, where I have held senior roles such as Interim Head of Compliance, Executive Director in consulting and senior legal and compliance advisor. These roles have allowed me to develop a comprehensive view of compliance, combining legal expertise, governance responsibilities and operational implementation.
Throughout my career, I have supported organizations during periods of regulatory change and increased supervisory scrutiny, providing structured support at both strategic and operational levels, with a focus on continuity, clarity and effective prioritization of compliance activities.
I have worked with boards of directors, executive committees and senior management, supporting decision-making through analysis and reporting.
Scope
I support insurance companies, financial institutions and regulated entities in navigating complex regulatory, legal and compliance environments.
I intervene across the main regulatory frameworks impacting the insurance and financial services sector, including insurance regulation, compliance and sustainable finance, with a particular focus on IDD, ESG, PRIIPs, Solvency II, AML / CFT and GDPR.
My support is adapted to each organization’s context, regulatory maturity and risk profile. I work at both strategic and operational levels, in close collaboration with boards, senior management, compliance functions and business teams.
Experience
My experience covers a broad range of regulatory topics, including conduct of business, product governance, sustainable finance, prudential requirements and financial crime prevention.
Beyond technical expertise, my added value lies in my ability to translate regulatory requirements into practical and workable solutions. I focus on embedding compliance into governance structures and day-to-day operations, rather than treating it as a purely formal or theoretical exercise.
I pay particular attention to proportionality, risk-based approaches and long-term sustainability, ensuring that compliance frameworks are adapted to the size, complexity and activities of each organization.
Approach
My approach is structured, independent and pragmatic.
I work with a clear methodology, combining regulatory analysis, risk assessment and operational follow-up. I value clear documentation, realistic action plans and transparent communication with all stakeholders.
Compliance, in my view, should :
- support sound governance and informed decision-making
- strengthen trust with regulators and external stakeholders
- and contribute to the organization’s long-term resilience.
