ABOUT OUR SPEAKERS
Incredible passion and relentless dedication - Graham Barrow and Ray Blake are fully committed to the fight against financial crime. They aim to raise awareness of the close links between financial crime and the organised criminal gangs, and corrupt individuals, who are responsible for so much of the dirty money entering the financial system and, in particular, the role of UK entities in enabling this.
Alongside candid and sometimes challenging insights into the murky world of dark money, Graham and Ray provides practical takeaways which will help you to better combat financial crime.
GRAHAM BARROW
Graham is an expert in unravelling complex money laundering webs. His unique skills are called upon by a large number of investigative journalists in both print and broadcast media, to help them identify and write about organised crime and corruption – specifically in their use of legal entities to launder the proceeds of crime.
With twenty five years of experience in financial services, most recently he has provided his expertise to high-profile banks in relation to their financial crime control frameworks, including writing the due diligence policy for one global bank.
RAY BLAKE
As an anti-financial crime professional, Ray has extensive experience in the retail financial services sector, with a professional track record that started in the late eighties. His particular area of expertise is regulation as it relates to this industry.
An experienced trainer and presenter, for the past few years Ray has worked closely with a variety of banks to strengthen their defences against the threat of financial crime. His expertise has most recently been utilised in Head of Compliance and Money Laundering Reporting Officer roles.
