In detail:
Kelly joined Baringa in September 2025, bringing a background in law and a PhD in financial law focused on AI-enabled supervisory technology (SupTech) for anti-money laundering, examining how the EU's new AML watchdog, AMLA, and regulators more broadly can use AI effectively, with data governance and data quality at its core.
Before joining Baringa, Kelly worked as a consultant on the EU AI Act, collaborating with European institutions on its implementation, and as a lecturer in law, teaching AI governance and fintech. At her tenure at the University of Cambridge's Centre for Alternative Finance, Kelly conducted and published research on supervisory technology for financial crime and digital assets, including the State of SupTech study and a study on the cryptoasset regulatory landscape globally. She also supported supervisors and regulators globally in implementing AI-enabled SupTech and build their AI strategies.
At Baringa, Kelly's focus sits at the intersection of financial crime and AI governance, working across both EU and UK regulatory frameworks, with particular focus in money laundering prevention.
