ADVISORY PHILOSOPHY

Judgement before decoration.
Systems, not slogans.

International standards are only useful when translated into practical, risk-based action within real legal, political and institutional environments.

Effective financial-crime reform is quiet, deliberate and cumulative. It respects the people, institutions and constraints that make change possible.

Confidentiality is a starting condition, not a value-add. Sensitive work is treated as such throughout.

CAREER NARRATIVE

A career built across the full financial-crime system.

Erin began her career as a prosecutor and Assistant Attorney General in Palau, developing an early appreciation for the practical realities of criminal justice in small jurisdictions.

In New Zealand, she served as Chief Advisor for Criminal Justice at the Ministry of Justice and represented New Zealand as Head of Delegation to the Financial Action Task Force, contributing to the international standards that shape today's AML/CFT and CPF systems.

As Deputy Executive Secretary of the Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG), she led work across 41 member jurisdictions on mutual evaluations, technical assistance and financial-crime reform.

She now advises independently, working directly with the institutions that carry responsibility for financial-crime response, and holds an Associate Fellowship with the RUSI Centre for Finance and Security.
