Gerard Jong
Risk & Compliance Consultant
Gerard is a thorough, critical, and quality-conscious consultant. But with the ability to put things into perspective. After all, it’s still a people-driven job. The challenges (financial) companies face are great, complex, and numerous. How to meet society’s sharply increased expectations about sustainability, good corporate governance and preventing financial crime? In their pursuit of long-term value creation (and its preservation), sincere and well-managed organizations pay attention to the interests of all their stakeholders. Gerard likes to help them getting there, by analysis, evaluation and advice, focusing on prevention. And based on his 23+ years of experience as a lawyer, regulator, compliance officer, and internal auditor at the heart of the financial sector.
