I am an AI Regulatory Compliance Analyst specialising in AI governance, regulatory compliance, and vendor risk at NTT DATA Inc. My role sits at the intersection of technology, risk, and regulation, where I support the evaluation, governance, and safe adoption of AI tools and emerging technologies across the organisation. My work focuses on identifying AI-specific risks, ensuring regulatory alignment, and delivering clear, defensible risk positions to support informed decision-making. With academic grounding in Compliance Management (Risk Analysis, Financial Crime, and Cyber Crime), and a BA in Psychology and Criminology, I bring a unique perspective on how human behaviour, risk, and technology intersect. This allows me to approach AI governance not only from a regulatory standpoint, but with an understanding of the behavioural and ethical implications of deploying these technologies. Earlier in my journey, my involvement in mental health initiatives strengthened my ability to create structured, people-focused solutions in complex environments — a skill I continue to apply in governance, stakeholder engagement, and process improvement. I am passionate about building practical, scalable governance frameworks that enable innovation while maintaining strong risk and compliance standards.
