He was previously a Research Fellow at the Centre for Financial Crime and Security Studies of the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), a UK defence and security think-tank. While at RUSI, he led major multi-year research projects that explored the impact of technology on financial crime, as well as illicit trade risks in free-trade zones. He also published on a wide array of subjects including beneficial ownership transparency; corruption and fraud in the UK; and the financial footprint of cybercrime, cyber-enabled fraud and online IP piracy.
He gave testimony to the Australian Senate's Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade; the UK House of Commons' International Trade Committee; Canada's Commission of Inquiry into Money Laundering in British Columbia; and the Legal Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. He also presented before multiple other UK agencies, including the Joint Money Laundering Intelligence Taskforce and the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Illicit Trade, as well as the EU's Freeze and Seize Task Force.
His consultancy experience includes advising the Stolen Asset Recovery Initiative, a joint programme of the World Bank and UN Office on Drugs and Crime, as well as consulting for government-funded and private-sector financial crime projects worldwide.

How my works connects with public policy
Much of my work is relevant to the needs of policy-makers and practitioners, especially law enforcement agencies. I have given parliamentary testimony in Australia (Senate) and the UK (House of Commons), as well as before the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.

I have been invited to expert meetings by the Financial Action Task Force, the European Commission and the World Bank, and advised the Stolen Asset Recovery Initiative, a joint project of the World Bank and the UN Office on Drugs and Crime.
I am often cited in the media, including The Economist, Financial Times, Washington Post, Al Jazeera, Bloomberg, The Telegraph, The Daily Mail, Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian, SBS, The Saturday Paper, France 24, Deutsche Welle and Japan News. I have also written op-eds in The Australian and EU Observer.
