Karla joined our team in 2024 and plays a key leadership role in shaping our Compliance Practice. She drives the evolution of our service offering and go-to-market strategy, advising international banks, asset managers and financial institutions on building future-ready, digitally enabled compliance functions. Her work focuses on strengthening compliance culture, implementing regulatory requirements, and positioning compliance as a strategic function within the organisation.

Recent projects include designing a group-wide compliance framework for the IPU of an ECB-regulated bank and leading the selection and implementation of compliance technology platforms such as legal monitoring systems. She applies AI to enhance regulatory implementation and transform compliance into a more dynamic and adaptive capability. Her project approach is hands-on, solution-oriented, and strategically aligned — always aiming to position compliance as a value driver for the entire organization rather than a box-ticking exercise.

Karla brings over a decade of experience across regulatory and capital markets compliance as well as anti-financial crime. She began her career as a Compliance Officer at a major German insurance and financial group (SIGNAL IDUNA) and worked in consulting at KPMG and EY before joining us.

She holds an LL.M. in Business Law from WWU Münster and a B.A. in Insurance Management from FH Dortmund. Karla is a Certified Compliance Officer for Solvency II as well as a certified Professional Scrum Master (PSM I) and Product Owner (PSPO I).
