Director

White Risk Solutions provides truly
personalised governance and risk
management solutions.

I commenced White Risk Solutions in April 2015, with a vision to provide truly personalised governance and risk management solutions. Personalised experience means that I address your specific needs, ensuring that I respect your organisation's unique culture. I will meet your expectations.

I provide risk management, compliance management, governance and internal audit and advisory solutions that are smart. My agreement with you can be through a short or long term contract. Or you may require Interim Executive support to help your organisation through a period of change. I rebuild or manage the risk, compliance and assurance functions of your organisation with clarity and expertise.

To make a difference to each and every organisation I work with, I seek to understand what makes 'the organisation tick'. What mechanisms are in place to make decisions? What resistance have you had in embedding better risk management practice? What are the structures, policies, procedures and frameworks in place that help provide valuable input to the decision makers? Is the strategy clear? What level of risk taking is the organisation willing to take?

Well designed risk management and governance solutions help provide confidence for the Executive Management Team, Audit and Risk Committee and the Board of Directors.

I bring over 30 years of diversified experience in the risk, governance, compliance, audit and assurance specialities. I am passionate about embedding risk management and better compliance and governance into an organisation.

When you engage White Risk Solutions, you will be sourcing the best possible solutions to address your risk and assurance concerns. You will receive a transparent and timely service, built on mutual trust.

Services

Interim Executive Support

Over the last 3 years, I have supported organisations through a period of risk and governance transformation. My broad experiences, excellent relationship management skills and dedication to your needs mean that I am well suited to deliver change and build risk resilience. The most critical element of strong Interim Executive support relates to Trust. Building a trusted relationship with your staff, providing an experience that is respectful and then leaving your organisation in better shape is the mark of success.

Risk Management Framework Design

I tailor bespoke, comprehensive frameworks aligned with ISO 31000 to reflect your unique culture, strategy and risk appetite. By embedding risk into everyday operations, my clients shift from viewing risk as a chore to recognising it as a valuable decision-making tool. These frameworks foster resilience, clarity and opportunity, helping you turn potential threats into strategic advantages and sustainable growth.

Risk Management Workshops

My interactive workshops bring together the diverse perspectives that are evident in each attendee. A successful workshop unifies participants, ensuring that impacts, both positive and negative, to the organisation's strategy and operations are documented. By encouraging open dialogue, I help each individual contribute their insights and feel ownership of the outcomes. The result is a cohesive, actionable plan that enhances engagement, understanding and overall risk awareness throughout your organisation.

Compliance and Regulatory Support

My deep expertise in accounting, audit and governance over multiple industries ensures that I can assist your organisation to meet your compliance and regulatory obligations. Strong compliance management exhibits sound budgeting, the embedding of a clear compliance management framework and a leadership culture that focuses on meeting obligations.

Internal Audit & Policy Development

As a Certified Internal Auditor, I am qualified and experienced to provide clear, focused reviews that highlight risks, gaps and opportunities for improvement. My reports are written in plain English, ensuring that recommendations are straightforward and impactful. Alongside audits, I develop policies and procedures that meet best-practice standards. The result is a consistent governance framework that drives compliance, streamlines operations and empowers teams to act confidently and efficiently.

Opportunity Management

Too often I hear that risk management only focuses on the down side of operational failure. This is a lived experience and an unfortunate one. Mature organisations consider opportunities or initiatives that deliver success. Opportunity Management Workshops pivot the conversation from ‘risk’ to ‘reward’. Every organisation has finite resources in finance and labour. Making choices about what initiative to pursue is supported by well planned workshops that move the conversation from opinion to evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes White Risk Solutions different from other consultancies?

I design truly personalised governance and risk strategies, guided by your unique culture, goals and decision-making structures. Risk Management consultants too often deliver standardised approaches to non standard problems. Getting to know you and your individual situation drives a better outcome. My services are delivered in plain English, not risk technical speak that confuses the recipient.

Which industries do you serve?

I provide assistance to any organisation seeking enhanced risk and governance outcomes. I support Federal and State government agencies, ASX,
non-profits, financial institutions, large and mid size corporations, sporting and education bodies.

Do you provide a mentorship program?

Yes, I offer a Risk Mentorship program for organisations with a risk or compliance team where specialist support is desired. This service helps growing teams develop their expertise. I build long-term relationships with my mentees, providing guidance to strengthen skills, build confidence and drive lasting success in risk management and governance. My goal is to empower emerging professionals to achieve great outcomes.

How do you communicate with clients?

I take pride in my work and the relationships I have built with my clients. I provide a 24-hour response time for calls and emails made by you. There is nothing more frustrating than waiting for a response to your questions or concerns. Therefore, my desire is to keep you informed, engaged and confident every step of the way.

What locations do you serve?

I am based in Melbourne, however I travel across the country to deliver my consultancy services. Wherever you are and whatever you require, I am able to travel as needed.

How long have you been operating?

White Risk Solutions was formed in 2015. I started the business because I am passionate about what I do and wanted to make an individual contribution. I commenced my career in 1993 at KPMG and have built my skill set over 30 years.
