The Outside Context

Elise is the Executive Director of Global Digital Finance (GDF), board member, and also board advisor to several start-ups on policy & regulatory issues. 

Previously, she was at the Association for Financial Markets in Europe, leading Digital Assets and Data Strategy work, & prior to that at the Financial Conduct Authority, working across both their Technology, Resilience and Cyber Division and International Division. 

Named ‘Next Generation Leader of the Year’ by Women in Finance Awards UK, her dual public and private sector experience positions her to support digitisation across the financial services ecosystem.

When not working on all things digital finance, she enjoys baking, hiking, and reading lots of sci-fi & fantasy. Her favourite book is Brave New World and her ideal weekend includes a run with her labradoodle & husband in Regent's Park + a trip to the Gower Street Waterstones.
