Clemmie is a Director at Effecta Compliance and brings 15 years of UK compliance and regulatory experience, with a specific focus working in-house for global brokerage firms.

Clemmie has had invaluable experience liaising with Regulators globally, consulting with European, UK, US and Hong Kong regulators on proposed trade operating models, and assisting business to set up or wind down entities and trading venues in these jurisdictions. These interactions have provided Clemmie with a good insight into individual regulators approaches to supervision and their practical interpretations of regulation.

Clemmie’s regulatory expertise include Benchmark Regulation, the impact of Brexit on UK authorised firms, and MiFID II (including the operation and governance of trading venues [MTF’s & OTF’s]). Clemmie has vast experience conducting deep dives into business areas and trade flows and has completed numerous regulatory gap analyses, with experience of conducting due diligence reviews into companies for the purposes of potential acquisitions.
