Novatus Global (Novatus) has appointed Bill Michael as head of strategy and as a member of its board.
Novatus is a risk and regulation consultancy and technology solution provider.
Michael will be responsible for helping the firm deliver tailored advice and regtech solutions to Novatus’s financial services clients.
