She is a highly experienced regulatory and governance specialist with more than 25 years’ experience supporting financial services businesses, regulators and boards across Jersey, Guernsey and other offshore financial centres
Experience
As Group Managing Director of Collas Crill Regulatory and Compliance and previously Founder and Director of Oben Regulatory, Alex has built a reputation for delivering pragmatic, independent assessments of governance, risk and control environments, particularly in situations involving regulatory scrutiny, remediation and complex investigations.
A Fellow Chartered Accountant, Alex combines technical regulatory expertise with extensive forensic and investigative experience. Throughout her career she has been appointed by regulatory authorities as an inspector, competent person and reporting professional across trust company, fund services and insurance sectors. She has led investigations, produced reports relied upon by regulators when determining supervisory and enforcement outcomes, and supported firms in designing and implementing remediation plans to address identified deficiencies.
She has also conducted post-remediation validation exercises, providing independent assurance over the effectiveness and sustainability of corrective actions.
Background
Alex has worked with more than 90 financial services businesses, advising boards and senior executives on corporate governance, AML/CFT/CPF frameworks, sanctions compliance, control enhancement and regulatory risk management. Her background in forensic accounting and litigation support provides a strong analytical foundation for assessing root causes, identifying systemic weaknesses and evaluating whether remediation programmes have successfully addressed underlying risks.
Alongside her consulting work, Alex holds a number of prominent leadership positions, including Chair of the Jersey branch of the Institute of Directors (IoD), where she regularly engages with government, regulators and industry leaders on regulatory and governance matters.
Her combination of regulatory credibility, investigative experience and governance expertise makes her particularly well suited to leading independent remediation effectiveness reviews and providing assurance to boards and regulators that corrective actions have been fully embedded and are delivering the intended outcomes.
Alex achieved IoD Chartered Director status in October 2026.
Beyond her role with the Institute of Directors, Alex is also co-founder of the Mind the Gap Community in Jersey.

Having worn numerous hats in a professional and voluntary capacity I am effective at communication and stakeholder management."
