Monique Webster's Linkedin Analytics

As a Master’s-educated senior executive with 25 years’ experience, I have delivered multiple profitable business change programs and transformations. Spanning asset and investment management (buy-side), trustee administration, family office management and insurance, my goal is to create operational excellence with a combination of strategic thinking, leadership, exceptional client service and people development. In business, there is always something that requires improvement, or a hurdle to surmount. When it comes to operations, I have found it is more about the people than the system or process. Empowering teams to problem-solve within their areas of expertise delivers fast and smart results and often translates into motivated teams and superior performance. Common threads in my career involve technological transformations, process improvements and leading people through change. At Public Trust, I was promoted three times culminating in General Manager, Wealth. I steered their NZ$20M technology implementation that resulted in more investors and net new FUM. Faced with growth and sustainability, the Todd Family Office hired me to modernise the product offering, upgrade operations and build sustainable, compliant systems. I introduced controls and procedures to manage risk and frameworks that improved governance. One matrix ensured compliance with multi-jurisdictions’ regulatory requirements, and a relationship management framework made our approach to external advisors consistent. As a consultant, I helped diverse organisations resolve regulatory demands from remediation to integrating new responsibilities such as Consumer Duty. I also re-engineered operations that delivered scalability, fund accounting efficiencies and streamlined processes for faster client responses. After studying for an MBA in leadership and innovation, I was hired by my business school to project-manage the Lord Mayor’s new initiative that seeks to identify ways a Chief Risk Officer can facilitate risk-taking for growth while managing risk and regulatory demands. Highly pragmatic, I value fairness in the work environment. I also have a curious mind and am deeply resilient, which in part, is likely due to my forward-looking perspective. With a facility for financial data analysis and skill in navigating complex, ambiguous problems, I am well-equipped to find a way forward. Now ready for a new challenge, please message me if you are a recruiter or a like-minded professional looking to grow your network of operations experts.
