Michelle Gurdis

I am an experienced Operations, Risk & Compliance, Project & Change Support Consultant with over 14 years of experience across prominent global financial institutions, regulatory environments and Big 4 organisations.

My background spans risk management, regulatory compliance, governance, operational delivery and strategic project support within complex, fast-paced and highly regulated environments. I have extensive experience supporting organisations through operational change, regulatory transformation and business-critical initiatives, with a strong focus on stakeholder coordination, process improvement and effective delivery.

I specialise in developing and implementing compliance and risk management frameworks while aligning regulatory requirements with practical, commercially sustainable business solutions. My approach combines strong analytical capability with excellent communication, organisational and relationship management skills, enabling me to work effectively across cross-functional teams and senior stakeholder groups.

Alongside my regulatory and compliance expertise, I bring a structured and adaptable operational mindset, supporting businesses with project coordination, governance, documentation, process optimisation and organisational effectiveness. I am particularly skilled at navigating complex environments, driving clarity across teams and helping organisations manage change with confidence and efficiency.

I hold a postgraduate M.Sc. and a First Class Honours Bachelor of Business degree, and I am multilingual with experience working across international and culturally diverse environments.
