Mathew Beale
Head of Compliance
“I was asked by VALLA to assist in the next steps of its organic growth and, through this process, to assist the Board, along with the compliance function, on all relative matters surrounding the risks associated with Governance, Risk and Compliance. The opportunity to assist and work within VALLA was very appealing and complimented my consultancy skills.”
