Hi, I'm Neil, a lawyer and Fellow member of the International Compliance Association passionate about navigating the evolving landscape of AI governance and compliance, underpinned by a strong foundation in risk management. As the founder of GLF Strategic Compliance, I empower small and medium-sized businesses to leverage robust risk management, compliance frameworks, and contract management services with a personal touch and at a fraction of typical costs.

I thrive on partnering with businesses to deeply understand their unique challenges and build tailored AI Governance, Compliance, and broader Risk Management programs aligned with their strategic goals and corporate culture. This includes addressing critical AI-specific risks such as data privacy, bias, and regulatory compliance. Working fractionally, my aim is to become an integral part of your team, offering the expertise of a dedicated resource without the full-time overhead.

My extensive experience across diverse industries and regulatory environments, including the UK, Europe, and North America, provides me with a unique lens on building effective corporate functions. From my background in a prestigious London law firm to leading privacy and risk for tech, entertainment, and insurance companies, and serving on non-profit boards, I've observed a consistent need: the ability to articulate, prioritize, and document complex issues, particularly in emerging areas like AI, to drive informed decisions and actionable plans. I help businesses develop and implement AI governance frameworks, establish AI risk assessment processes, and navigate the intricacies of AI-related regulations.

The approach I take is built on professionalism, respect, and transparency. To me, these are non-negotiable principles. I excel at bridging the technical complexities of AI with pragmatic business considerations, delivering a blend of precision and practicality that brings tangible value to organizations navigating the opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence.
