What does fighting a global disaster have to do with fighting financial crime? In this episode, we’ll talk to Roy Wilsher, former Chair of the UK National Fire Chiefs Council. Over Roy’s 40 year career, he has led disaster responses to catastrophic events such a tsunami in Japan and a major rail crash in London. Hear lessons learned from Roy’s career and how we can apply these tactics to our financial crime risk management approach.

Roy Wilsher began his career in the Fire Service in 1981 in North London.  In 1998, Roy became Senior Divisional Fire Safety Officer, responsible for 11 boroughs in North and West London. Roy served as the project lead for the restructure of the London Fire Brigade in 2001 and became Assistant Commissioner for Fire Safety in London in 2002.  From April 2013 to March 2017, he was also Chief Executive for Hertfordshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner. Roy was the first Chair of the National Fire Chiefs Council and now advises the Home Office on fire reform.
