Lee Bosio, Managing Director of Vaiie commented:

We're delighted to have brought together this outstanding group of industry leaders. Ranging from digital, financial, regulatory compliance and cyber-security, they will provide expert advice and input into our strategy.

Ricky Magalhaes

Rick is an international cyber-security expert, evangelist and strategist. He has been practising all three for over twenty years working with the world’s leading brands.

Ricky exited his cyber-security company in 2005, and joined the leadership team of a large security provider in the UK, which was sold to the Datatec Group (Logicalis) in Feb 2012.

Ricky works globally at a board level with customers, vendors and partners to define strategy, roadmap and exit, adding positive value.

The panel members will meet several times a year as a key working group to provide innovative advice and dynamic perspectives to our products and services.

Helen Hatton

Widely recognized as the prime architect of the modern Jersey regulatory regime. She resigned as Deputy Director General of the Jersey Financial Services Commission in May 2009, having led the implementation of regulatory development in the island from its blacklisted state in 1999 to achieving one of the world’s best IMF evaluation results, to establish Sator Regulatory Consulting Limited.

After seven years of outstanding performance, Sator Regulatory Consulting Limited merged with BDO Jersey Limited in April 2016 and undertakes governance, risk and compliance assignments for leading financial services businesses; international standards setting bodies including the World Bank and IMF, and regulatory authorities. Recent assignments for regulatory authorities include those with the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission, the Central Bank of Aruba and the Financial Services Commissions of Anguilla and the Cook Islands.

Educated at Hurst Lodge, Sunningdale and St Wilfred’s, Exeter followed by Plymouth University, Helen lectured in Business Studies in further and higher education institutions in the south west of England until joining American Express Bank where she advised private clients on wealth management solutions from 1989 to late 1991.

Prior to taking up her role in Jersey, Helen was Director of Enforcement with the Isle of Man Financial Supervision Commission from 1992-1999, introducing the first offshore “all crimes” money laundering regime in 1997 and, notably, achieving the world’s first “freestanding” offshore Mareva injunction without a local cause of action in the case SIB-v-Lloyd Wright. This milestone case brought an effective end to banking secrecy in the Crown Dependencies.
