Speaking of his appointment, Thirlwell said, “I have met many firms over the past few years that have attempted to make a mark in the compliance market – without success. Chase Cooper has impressed me as a company that understands risk and compliance issues and offers practical thought leadership and a complete solution to meet Operational Risk and Sarbanes-Oxley requirements. I am delighted to join like-minded talent and to help the company to fulfil its ambitions as it continues to develop its risk and compliance capabilities”.
