Leidy Anderson
With over 15 years of experience in financial services, I’ve had the privilege of serving in various capacities at four major financial institutions, primarily focusing on the second line of defense since 2014. My expertise lies in enterprise risk management (ERM), operational risk, and third-party risk management. I hold the CTPRP certification. I have a genuine passion for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives and business continuity, which is deeply rooted in personal experiences. Coming from Colombia, I’ve witnessed the adverse effects of coal mining on the native population of my family’s hometown, Barrancas Guajira. These experiences have humbly inspired me to champion stronger governance practices for the well-being of communities and businesses alike.
