A founder and faculty co-lead at Conduct and Culture Academy (UK), he produces and delivers consistently top-rated work programmes to improve risk culture in private- and public-sector organisations worldwide. Each year his personal research typically includes depth-interviewing several hundred regulated senior practitioners (Board Directors, other attested Senior Managers and Conduct programme principals); and hosting workshops for 3000+ business leaders across more than 200 regulated firms.

His publications include the popular financial sector handbook Conduct Risk Management: a behavioural approach (Kogan Page, 2017); the Key Concepts Dictionaries in the global annual Behavioral Economics Guides (LSE, 2014-); specialist sections on behavioural risk in Mastering Operational Risk (FT) and Operational Risk: New Frontiers (Risk Books); and Conduct and Culture Briefing series for Reuters, the FT, Berkeley Research, and a various professional practitioner bodies.
