Driving forward change to transform financial services

Aware of finance industry compliance issues and customer miss-selling that had been ignored for decades, Joanne decided to drive change. She founded TCC to transform the compliance landscape. The technology-enabled services business is now in its 20th year and won the ‘Best RegTech Company 2021’ award in the FinTech Breakthrough Awards programme.

Joanne’s vision for AI technology to help solve finance industry compliance issues and protect customers led her to start Recordsure. Recordsure’s AI analytics technology was built to close the regulatory gap, introduce transparency and accountability, and protect customers.

Financial firms benefit from compliance, reduced risk and remediation costs, and intelligence that can improve customer experience. While financial firms gain tangible benefits, Joanne is most proud of her contribution to protecting customers and making a positive impact on society.

Joanne supports female founders and is a serial investor in female-led technology businesses, addressing the 1% funding challenges of female entrepreneurs.
