Jani O'Callaghan

I am a qualified attorney and governance professional with experience managing legal, compliance, and company secretarial functions across fast-paced, international environments, including fintech and crypto.

Currently, I manage corporate governance for more than 20 group entities across EMEA and SEA. My work includes coordinating board and committee meetings, maintaining statutory records, managing director changes, and ensuring ongoing compliance with local regulations. I have also contributed to building internal legal operations processes such as contract lifecycle management and governance frameworks that support clarity and scalability.

I am close to completing my Company Secretary - Board Level qualification through the Chartered Governance Institute (last results expected early July 2025) and am looking for an opportunity in a company where good governance is prioritised and people are trusted to do great work in a healthy, collaborative environment.
