“In private investigation, every case is different — but the human stories, the scams, the vulnerabilities, remind us why raising professional standards has never mattered more.”

BIO

With over 25 years of experience in the private sector, I am an accomplished international investigator and business leader with a proven track record in managing complex international investigations. My expertise spans a wide range of high-stakes cases, including fraud investigations, litigation support, risk management, and asset tracing.

I am privileged to serve as President of the Association of British Investigators (ABI) and hold a distinguished position as Past President of the World Association of Detectives (WAD), where I made history by being elected Chairman for three consecutive terms. Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my contributions to the industry, including receiving the WAD Investigator of the Year Award (2016) and The Richard-Jacques Turner Award for Excellence (2019).

As Co-Founder and CEO of Conflict International, I successfully merged two London-based investigation agencies in 2008, positioning the company as a global leader in intelligence and international investigations. With offices in London, the US, Spain, and Cyprus, Conflict International provides comprehensive investigative services tailored to meet the complex needs of clients worldwide.

I am regularly invited to speak at global conferences, where I share insights on best practices, strategies, and emerging trends in the investigative field. Known for my hands-on, approachable style, I also contribute as an expert to international media outlets, providing analysis on a wide range of issues within the investigations sector.
