I am delighted to join a distinguished and diverse group of experts at the FCA and I look forward to providing insights to the Authority on matters concerning innovation and competition.
The Group will provide input into planned initiatives, bring to the FCA’s attention to key issues or concerns impacting the FinTech and RegTech sectors, and identify opportunities for continued innovation in financial services, and collaboration between the industry and the regulator. The insights of the Group will help to shape the FCA’s view of innovation in financial services
