Nick Leeson is better known as the “Rogue Trader”, who was made famous for causing the fall of Barings Bank in 1995 - arguably the biggest financial scandal of the twentieth century.

After losing an estimated 826 million pounds trading derivatives, and causing the bankruptcy of Barings Bank, he was sentenced to six and a half years in a Singapore prison. During this time he wrote his autobiography “Rogue Trader”, which was made into a movie starring Ewan McGregor.

Today Nick spends his time advising major financial institutions around the world, ensuring they learn from your mistakes and maintain the correct compliance, control, and transparency.
