Bio
Nyreen Llamas
Kirsty is not only extremely knowledgeable in her field but she understands perfectly how the function of compliance works with the gaming business (‘with’ being the important description). She is also a fantastic leader and manager of teams and i have enjoyed thoroughly working with her and she has taught me a thing or two too!

After years of neglect, thanks to heightened regulatory oversight compliance is the hot topic these days. As a result, the demand for compliance specialists has gone in to overdrive. Unfortunately it has resulted in many an individual claiming to be a specialist where in fact they have limited time or experience in the field to truly understand the complexities of the subject matter. This does not apply to Kirsty. Kirsty is able to read the travel of the compliance landscape before it happens and act proactively to mitigate the risks. This is an invaluable skill for anyone wishing to work in compliance. Anyone can follow a process. The art is to spot where the process is wrong and change it. Why? Because the industry will be judged in the future on its mistakes it makes now. Kirsty has the vision to see the bigger picture and advice key stakeholders on these matters. During my time working with Kirsty she managed some extremely sensitive regulatory matters with the UK Gambling Commission. She did so in a calm and pragmatic manner. Her decision making was always sound and most importantly balanced. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kirsty for the most senior of compliance roles.
