Gerard Jong
Risk & Compliance Consultant
Gerard is a solid, critical, and quality-conscious consultant, with the ability to maintain perspective, as it is ultimately a people-oriented business. The challenges facing (financial) companies are significant, complex, and numerous. How can they meet the significantly increased societal expectations regarding sustainability, good corporate governance, and the prevention of financial crime? In their pursuit of long-term value creation (and its preservation), principled and well-managed organizations pay attention to the interests of all their stakeholders. Gerard is eager to assist them through analysis, evaluation, and advice focused on prevention, drawing on his nearly 25 years of experience as a lawyer, regulator, compliance officer, auditor, and consultant at the heart of the financial sector.
