She has developed extensive knowledge and practical expertise in the operation and oversight of MiFID-regulated firms through both C-Suite and senior management roles.
Siobhan's background includes senior leadership roles across a range of functions within an independent stockbroking firm up to 2012, followed by a significant period from 2014 to 2023 with a start-up investment firm.
Joining the investment firm at its inception, Siobhan was a key member of the senior management team responsible for establishing the MiFID-regulated entity, developing its business model and progressing the firm through the Central Bank of Ireland’s MiFID authorisation process through to approval.
Following authorisation, Siobhan held a number of senior executive roles, including Executive Director, Head of Compliance, Chief Risk Officer, Head of AML/CTF and Board Member.
This experience has provided Siobhan with a comprehensive understanding of the applicable regulatory requirements, together with a broad and practical perspective on the governance, regulatory and operational challenges faced by regulated financial services firms.
