Boom or bust: The business of human trafficking and modern slavery

Jason has worked with STOP THE TRAFFK since 2007. He leads business engagement, establishing the practice team and developing a deep understanding of how modern slavery manifests in multiple sectors, geographies and business models. He utilises 30 years of corporate experience at senior levels in global organisations, to provide insightful, practical guidance that is implementable and drives significant organisational change.

He was co-founder and Non-Executive Director of Finance Against Trafficking which developed the first Modern Slavery red flag manual for the financial services sector – now adopted by Financial Action Task Force (FATF). He has also provided training to numerous FTSE 100 companies and SME forums etc. and lead supply chain risk mapping projects for over 150 companies and subsidiaries supply chains, amounting to over 50,000 suppliers and billions of procurement spend including a diverse group of FTSE 100 companies across a number of sectors.

As Head of Qualifications, Tim is responsible for the development and delivery of the wide range of FC courses. He joined the ICA from the Gambling Commission where, as AML lead, he was responsible for all aspects of AML regulatory and supervisory activity. This was preceded by thirty years in UK Law Enforcement spanning the police, Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) and National Crime Agency (NCA). During this time he headed a number of functions including the Proceeds of Crime Operational Command within SOCA - focused on financial investigation, asset recovery and money laundering. Other roles included oversight of the UK’s INTERPOL, EUROPOL and Fugitive central bureau.

Countering the threat of financial crime has been a recurrent theme throughout Tim’s career. He established money laundering investigation teams across the UK, developed innovative tactics to counter the threat, and worked with many domestic and international partners to track and eliminate laundering at source. Earlier in his career Tim worked in partnership with the Serious Fraud Office and overseas agencies including the FBI in the investigation of complex fraud. The understanding and specialist skills he developed over this time combine with his experience as a supervisor and mean that Tim offers significant insight and practical expertise as a trainer.

10 of those years with a focus on global financial crime and as Global Head of Data Governance for Commercial & Global Banking in HSBC in the final years of my tenure.
