Simon Baker
I am currently a senior project lead who specialises in counter fraud risk for the UK Electoral Commission, with a background in the investigation of serious, organised financial crime with the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command and Specialist Crime Directorate.
I am a Certified Fraud Examiner, an accredited Financial Investigator with the National Crime Agency and I hold security clearance with Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
I have expertise in fraud, money laundering, counter terrorism and immigration crime having worked at both strategic and tactical levels in both the UK and abroad (Africa and the Caribbean) with a proven track record of delivering results.
I recently completed a four year assignment in the Caribbean region setting up a public sector anticorruption agency before undertaking a contract for the UNODC, reviewing and assessing Police Reform on behalf of the Tanzania Police Force.
I am passionate and highly motivated, with effective communication skills which have enabled me to be successful in negotiating and influencing colleagues at all levels. These skills have been developed in politically challenging, fragile and ethnically diverse environments.
I am interested in short, medium and long term consultancies in the UK or abroad.
