MNK Group appoints new group executive managing director for risk and regulation

MNK Group has appointed Chaitali Roy as group executive managing director for risk and regulation.

In her new role, Roy will lead MNK’s global risk and regulatory agenda, driving enterprise-wide governance, strengthening engagement with international regulators and aligning risk strategy with the group’s growth across the UK, EU, Middle East, Asia and other key regions.

Starting from 1 July 2025, she will also join the group executive board and report directly to group chief executive Manoj Kumar. 

Kumar said: “Roy joins us at a defining moment in our journey.

”Her cross-sector expertise and global regulatory insight are invaluable as we build a future-ready, risk-aligned platform. We are thrilled to welcome her to our leadership team.”

Experience

With over two decades of experience spanning audit, risk and regulation, Roy brings expertise from being a director at KPMG UK to working at the Prudential Regulation Authority, where she represented the UK on global risk and regulatory platforms.

Most recently, Roy served as a risk partner at EY, in which she advised boards of insurers on risk and regulatory transformation and strategic governance.

Roy said: “MNK’s global ambitions require risk and regulation to act as enablers of growth and not barriers to it.

”I look forward to embedding governance and robust risk management as a strategic asset and helping the group scale with resilience, integrity and purpose.”
