HEMRISH AUBEELACK

I am a management consultant specialising in business ethics and anti-financial crime. I have a rich mix of consultant and in-house experience, including as Group Compliance Manager for Tullow Oil plc (ex-FTSE100 and operating in Africa), and a wealth of global experience in leading proactive compliance work, including policy development, implementation, digitisation, regulatory and complex extra-territorial laws (e.g. US FCPA and UK Bribery Act). Prior to Tullow, I was responsible for the design, implementation and monitoring of a Compliance & Ethics Programme for a major EPCM project (US$20bn) delivered by Fluor and WorleyParsons in Kazakhstan.

My expertise in business ethics started at GoodCorporation as a management consultant where I assisted multinational companies, such as Total, GDFSuez, Shire and DMGT, in evaluating their code of conduct risks, focusing on corporate responsibility, anti-bribery and corruption, and human rights. At GoodCorporation, I conducted over 800 ethics and compliance interviews in over 30 countries and worked with a number of public organisations and NGOs, namely the Institute of Business Ethics, the Basel Institute on Governance, the Danish Institute for Human Rights, the City of London Police Overseas Anti-Corruption Unit, FBI, World Bank, Transparency International, and the Extractives Industries Transparency Initiative. I have a particular interest in Inclusion & Diversity and have been a member of working groups and committees driving equality policies at Fluor and at Tullow Oil plc.

I am periodically invited to share my expertise at compliance events. I hold a law degree, focusing on human rights and anti-discrimination from King’s College London, which I read on a full State of Mauritius Laureate Award (first place at national level). I also hold an Executive MBA from Bayes Business School (formerly Cass), City University of London, where I elected to focus on Leadership and conducted dissertation research on ‘Ethical Political Leadership with a focus on Mauritius’, awarded with distinction.

I am a Certified Practitioner with the International Compliance Association where I also qualified in the ICA International Diploma in Anti Money Laundering.

A Mauritian, British and Indian overseas citizen, I speak Mauritian Creole, English, French and Hindi.
