Laurence Parish joins Financial Crime practice of MHC
Mansion House Consulting has appointed Laurence Parish as Director, Head of Financial Crime. Parish brings more than 20 years of financial sector experience to the role.
Parish is a senior leader with extensive experience as a COO, Programme Manager and Financial Crime Risk Specialist. Over the course of his career, he has secured a comprehensive understanding of Global Banking & Markets (GB&M) products, financial & cyber-crime risks and controls, and the UK regulatory environment, underpinned by 15 years’ experience in GB&M operations.
Speaking on his new role, Parish commented, “I am very pleased to be joining such a professional and energised consultancy, and I am excited at the opportunity to further build and develop this area of specialism for Mansion House.”
Having completed an MBA at Cass Business School in 2000, Parish has since held senior roles with RBS, Barclays and Deutsche Bank. Most recently he spent almost two years as Director – EMEA COO for HSBC. During that time, he acted as SME for the FCA Individual Accountability/Senior Manager Regime and other European Regulatory Regimes, and also project managed change initiatives impacting HSBC’s global banking EMEA.
In his new role with Mansion House Consulting, Parish will be speaking to COO’s, regulatory compliance professionals and MLRO’s at both long-established and emerging financial institutions, who are grappling with the increasingly complex challenges that financial crime presents to the financial services industry. His team will be providing practitioner-led guidance regarding the latest insights, and what constitutes a fit-for-purpose financial crime risk management strategy.
The news follows the May appointment by Mansion House Consulting of Simon Tatam. Joining as the firm’s new Director, Head of Treasury, Tatam arrived having spent almost 30 years as a Treasurer for companies – including some of the most turbulent economic times in modern history.
