I joined Al Rayan Bank in 2023 as a Senior Operational Risk Manager, my first role in the UK. I was born in South Africa, lived, and worked in New Zealand for four years and relocated to the UK in 2023.
I joined the Bank in November 2020, in the middle of lockdown. The Collections and Litigations Officer was a new role for the Bank and required me to develop and implement a litigation strategy and process.
During my short time at the Bank, the achievement I’m most proud of is our ISO27001 certification. The Bank had been working on it for several years prior to my appointment, and so to be able to come in, understand the business and implement the Information Security Management System within such a short time has been incredibly rewarding
