Bio
Aristos Andrew Christofides
It is my pleasure to recommend Maria. I've been extremely impressed with Marias ability to work on her own initiative and finish work to a high standard. Along with her enthusiasm, positivity and energy, she acted as an integral part of the team in achieving project goals and was a great resource for more junior resources on our team. Furthemore I would like to also mention that her knowledge within the governance, compliance and risk sectors are exceptional.

Maria is, without doubt, one of the most experienced, forward-thinking and intelligent financial services professionals I’ve worked with during the last decade or more. She has an excellent eye for details with a great deal of creativity, negotiations and problem-solving ability. Her hands-on approach, motivation and positive attitude toward work can be the best added value to any organisation looking for the healthy change and organic growth. Keep up the great work 😊
