Sally is a Partner and the Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel, based in London. She is a director at Control Risks’ Main Board, leading an integrated remit across Legal, Risk, Compliance and Technology Assurance.
Her work sits at the intersection of strategy, governance and risk, helping the leadership team make confident decisions in regulated, high risk and reputationally sensitive environments. Sally advises on corporate governance, enterprise risk, major transactions, disputes and investigations, data privacy and cybersecurity, and the governance implications of AI and emerging technology.
Sally’s advice protects value and reputation while enabling growth – from completing deals on time with risks clearly allocated, or designing compliant but practical operating models, to stabilising high-stakes situations quickly with a clear and credible path to resolution.
“The job is not to eliminate uncertainty, it is to help leaders make confident, well‑governed decisions and execute them at pace.”
Sally is known for her ability to translate complex, fast-moving risk into clear options, aligned decision rights, and practical execution. She also brings a forward-looking lens to AI, cyber and data, helping organisations adopt new capability while protecting their IP, maintaining trust and meeting evolving regulation. And she is adept at operating internationally across multiple legal systems and cultural contexts.
Sally holds a Bachelor of Law degree from The University of Birmingham and a Diploma in Legal Practice from The College of Law, Guildford. She has been admitted as a solicitor of England and Wales, and Hong Kong.
