Background

About Kate Maddren

With over 25 years of experience in business operations and non-financial risk, I bring a deep understanding of Conduct Risk, effective control design, and enhanced monitoring through automation. My career has been defined by a commitment to building resilient risk frameworks, driving operational excellence, and leading high-performing teams through complex change. I’ve led large-scale teams across diverse functions, delivering strategic risk initiatives that strengthen governance and embed a culture of accountability. My expertise lies in translating regulatory expectations into practical, scalable solutions—particularly in designing controls that are both effective and efficient, and in leveraging data and technology to automate monitoring and improve risk insights. I’m passionate about creating environments where risk is owned, understood, and proactively managed. Whether it's uplifting control maturity, embedding conduct risk principles, or implementing intelligent automation, I focus on solutions that are sustainable, measurable, and aligned with business strategy.
