Alison Stevenson (pictured) has been appointed to the newly created role of risk manager at VAS Valuation Group, a property valuation solutions business in the UK.
In her new position, Stevenson will be responsible for building strong working relationships with the directors, operations, and technology teams.
She will be the lead on all risk, compliance, and regulatory matters, while also supporting regulatory and business-driven projects.
This includes managing new business projects, advising, reviewing, and challenging outputs as well as conducting regular business impact assessments.
Before joining VAS Valuation Group, Stevenson worked for Barclays PLC for over two decades.
Her roles included risk & controls manager (regulatory change) for commercial credit card and risk & control analyst (chief controls office) for consumer credit cards.
Stevenson said: “I am joining the company at a very exciting time, it has grown exponentially over the last five years and with that growth is the greater requirement to truly understand the ramifications of every decision.
“The role will protect the business itself, but importantly it also further safeguards our clients who know we are operating within all financial regulations at all times.”
Gina May, chief operating officer and co-founder of VAS Valuation Group, said: “This role, and Alison’s appointment, is integral to helping the business achieve its vision as being recognised as the most professional and comprehensive property valuation solutions business in the UK.
“Her high street background is second-to-none and will prove invaluable moving forwards.”
