Smarter Compliance: A Conversation with Sally Dewar and Stephen Sanders

Umony Season 1 Episode 4

In this special three-way conversation on Beyond Capture, Dean Elwood is joined by Sally Dewar, former Managing Director of Risk at the FCA, and Stephen Sanders, former Chief Compliance Officer EMEA at J.P. Morgan, two influential voices in financial regulation and risk.

Together, they unpack the post-2008 regulatory landscape, explore the shifting balance between safety and growth, and dive into the far-reaching implications of the EU’s DORA legislation.

If you’re navigating third-party risk, operational resilience, or tech-driven compliance, this episode offers grounded insight from leaders who’ve shaped the system, from both sides of the regulatory fence.
