Today’s episode features Renee Rajkumar, a Risk and Compliance Manager at the University of Arts, London. Hemma was very excited to host her long-time friend and compliance mentor to talk about how compliance is the conscience of the organization. Renee shares tips on how to overcome negative perceptions of the compliance function, how to build trust, motivate risk awareness and compliance, and how to leverage the strengths of your business partners while doing so. Learn about a new form of AI in compliance called “Added Intelligence” – first coined here. Grab a blanket and a cup of tea and tune in to hear how, with a little love and care, compliance can be the heart and pulse of an organization – and create the conditions where our internal business partners are the best source of compliance intelligence and risk management.
Hailing from the warm island of Trinidad and Tobago, Renee is enthusiastic about life and the happiness of people. She believes in the value of genuinely caring for others. This is the basis of Renee’s career background. Indecisive in the earlier days of her career, Renee worked in process operations, quality, marketing, and advertising health and fire safety and has now ended up in risk and compliance. Renee’s unique skill set and approach bring fresh and easy energy to risk and compliance.
Renee is also the founder of Portal Coaching Limited, which she launched at the start of the COVID lockdown. She is trained in NLP, solution-based coaching, business coaching, and hypnotherapy. Renee started Portal Coaching Limited to work with companies and individuals to help them gain clarity on who they are, their purpose, work situations, and relationship issues. She calls herself a Liberator and has set many people free of their worries and negative thought patterns. Renee draws on these principles in her various training with a seamless cross-application into coaching and Compliance.
