I am a Director in the Global Investigations department of JS Held.
I am a senior investigator and a strong and influential female leader in the sector, specialising in complex disputes including high-quantum fraud cases and asset tracing and recovery exercises. Over the past eight years since embarking on my career, my clients have included law firms, high-net worth individuals, multi-national companies, financial institutions and governments. I have most recently worked at Schillings, managing multifaceted litigation-support matters, and Burford Capital, where I was case manager for investigations including a project in support of one of the top largest Awards (over USD 6 billion) ever handed down against a state by the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes.
I am a law graduate, also with a BA in Russian and an MA in International Security. Most recently, this year, I obtained a qualification from the University of Cambridge’s Institute of Sustainability Leadership: ‘Women Leading Change: Shaping our Future”. I speak Russian and Spanish.
I am Chair of The Female Fraud Forum, having been elected in February 2022 and re-elected in February 2023 (+ Membership Secretary for 2 years prior). The FFF is a multi-disciplinary non-for-profit organisation comprising a network of c1,5000 members/supporters in the fraud, asset recovery and investigations sector – an industry that has often been dominated by men. The FFF’s aim is to spearhead the fight for change so that gender equality becomes ingrained in the workplace and secured for future generations.
I mentor and coach females in the sector.
