“Helping firms find value in prudential regulation and good governance”

INTRODUCTION

Expert Professional Advice

Rick Seehra

I am a Financial Services professional with extensive experience in prudential regulation having enjoyed in-house and consulting roles and spent several years in banking supervision at the FCA and the PRA. 

I set up Tesaka to provide practical solutions to financial services firms on governance, risk and compliance. The rules are there to help but they don’t fit every firm perfectly. I’m here to help firms  get the best value out of risk management and compliance.

In addition to my core services, my network of trusted partners are able to provide support on financial crime and reg-tech solutions.

Clients trust our broad experience, our sound judgement and our understanding of commercial pressures.

If you need any advice, feel free to reach out.
