What is the biggest risk you’ve taken in your career?

Stepping away from a stable career in traditional financial services to help reposition and scale a niche RegTech company globally. At the time, the market was still defining what RegTech was, and there was no playbook. It meant betting on vision, resilience, and building a category from the ground up.

What’s something most people don’t know about you?

Elaine has 3 cats.

What is the best quality for successful leaders in Risk?
