I have been trained in Intensive Cross Examination & Witness Familiarisation prior to giving evidence in the High Court of Justice in London on behalf of my employer in July of 2024 where I was cross examined at length. I currently manage a team in Leeds, London & Dublin responsible for the CDD, EDD & KYC journeys associated with the Betfair Premium customer cohort.
