Kanyon Advisors is a Dubai based regulatory change advisory practice founded by Saumya Deva, a regulatory change and transformation professional with more than 15 years of experience in global banking.
Saumya has worked with leading financial institutions including Nomura, BNP Paribas, HSBC, Wells Fargo and Lehman Brothers across Hong Kong, New York and Mumbai. This experience spans regulatory change management, programme and project delivery, business analysis, governance, risk and internal controls.
Kanyon Advisors helps organisations understand regulatory requirements and turn them into practical, workable change.
Experience includes supporting regulatory change initiatives across US, European and Asia Pacific regulatory environments, with exposure to major banking regulations including Basel, EMIR and Dodd-Frank.
The work combines regulatory understanding with knowledge of banking products, processes and operating models, helping bridge the gap between regulatory expectations and implementation within the business.
Regulatory change often affects multiple business lines, functions and jurisdictions. Kanyon Advisors provides hands-on support to help organisations establish or strengthen regulatory change management capabilities, assess regulatory impact and deliver change effectively.
The approach is practical, collaborative and flexible, with support available for advisory, interim and project based engagements.
Kanyon Advisors was established to provide experienced regulatory change expertise without the layers of a traditional consulting model.
Support is available to organisations building a regulatory change management capability, strengthening an existing framework or requiring additional senior delivery capacity for a complex regulatory programme.
Kanyon Advisors also collaborates with larger consulting firms and boutique advisory practices where specialist regulatory change expertise or experienced delivery support is required.
Kanyon Advisors is based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It supports clients across the UAE and internationally through on-site, hybrid and remote engagements.
Whether you are establishing a regulatory change management capability, implementing new regulatory requirements or need experienced support for a complex programme, Kanyon Advisors can provide practical, senior level expertise.
