Executive Director
About
I have spent my career inside boardrooms and audit rooms across Asia, Australia, India, the Middle East, and the UK. I have led internal audit functions, built risk management capability from the ground up, chaired governance committees, advised regulators, supported Audit Committee Chairs, and guided CAEs as they stepped into their first executive and board roles. What I learnt after three decades is simple: internal audit delivers its greatest value when it moves beyond compliance to insight, influence and strategic partnership. That belief led me to write Getting Ready to Roar: Chief Auditor’s Guide from Audit Room to Board Room — a book for CAEs who want to strengthen independence, improve relevance, deepen strategic impact, and prepare for board roles without losing their grounding in assurance. I now work with CAEs, Audit Committees and senior internal auditors across the world who want to lift their influence and expand their contribution. My work focuses on strategic audit, governance, risk culture, corporate oversight, and the evolving expectations of Audit Committees. My current focus includes: Helping CAEs strengthen their strategic presence Supporting AC Chairs in navigating risk, culture and management influence Running workshops on strategic audit and board readiness Speaking at IIA conferences across APAC, India and Africa Sharing insights with regulators, CEOs and governance bodies Building a community of CAEs who want to lead with clarity and courage If you would like a neutral sounding board on any audit, risk or AC matter, I’m always open to a conversation. 📘 Book print (Amazon): Getting Ready to Roar: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1764222113 📘Digital (Gumroad): https://navin2.gumroad.com/l/vaijz
