Elizabeth is the Managing Director for Sterling RISQ and NCC and joined Sterling in 2016 as COO for RISQ Group, the go to provider for screening services in APAC. She now leads Sterling's APAC region, with responsibility for delivering best in class background screening and identity solutions for clients and driving business growth for Sterling RISQ and NCC

Elizabeth started in the background screening industry in 2003, and is committed to the highest levels of service delivery which rest on two tenets; a spirit to serve and the provision of the absolute expertise in delivery.

Professional standards in the delivery of screening standards are absolutely paramount to her, she is passionate about professionalism in our industry. Elizabeth was one of the founding members of APAC chapter of the then PBSA, serving as board member for five years.  She is proud to say she set the standard for the APAC Chapter AGMs which evolved up until 2019.  She is a strong advocate for the development of an accreditation standard throughout the PBSA and the presentation of the PBSA as our professional body throughout ASEAN. Alongside Kerstin Bagus she met with the office of the Singapore Privacy Commission to introduce them to PBSA and prepared a submission on the suggested amendments to the SPDPA in 2018. In addition, she is an active member of the Australian “sub-committee’’ of professional background screeners who strive to ensure PBSA becomes a recognised, trusted body in the eyes of the Australian Criminal Intelligence Association.
