Background

About Jesse Ellis

Global Governance Leader and Non-Executive Director candidate with deep expertise in managing enterprise data risk, steering regulatory compliance, and establishing robust AI Governance frameworks for highly regulated global institutions (FinTech, Banking). I provide boards with the necessary strategic perspective to challenge management, define risk appetite, and ensure robust governance across complex, multi-jurisdictional operations. ​As Global Data Protection Officer (DPO), I serve as a key advisor on data risk compliance, critically supporting the strategic expansion of our products into new regions, including Europe and Singapore. I also lead the development of AI governance strategies, translating complex global laws and ethical considerations into pragmatic corporate policy. My focus is on building robust Data Risk Management Programs, leading Board sub-committee reporting, and strategically influencing the future of data protection and ethical AI deployment within the FinTech sector. I am seeking to leverage my extensive governance and audit experience to serve as a critical friend in the boardroom.
