To kick off our ‘what clients really want’ campaign, PSFI partner Ori Wiener sits down with Marie Stevens (Chairman of the Independent Compliance Committee of Caesars Entertainment UK) and Palwinder Hare (Head of Legal Group M&A and Corporate at Standard Chartered Bank) to discuss how to build good client relationships.

In the first of a three-part series Marie and Palwinder, together with Ori, share their insights from a client’s perspective on how to really get to know your clients, what good looks like, how they see the role of a client relationship partner and why being proactive is so important.

Marie has an extensive track record in the gaming industry, having been a former GC at Ladbrokes and regulator with the Gaming Board for Great Britain. She was also non-executive chair of 888 Holdings plc, (FTSE 250) and held NED positions with two LSE quoted firms including SportingBet plc. Prior to these roles she held GC roles at Woolworths plc and Commonwealth Development Corporation. She is currently Chairman of the Independent Compliance Committee of Caesars Entertainment UK and also Chairman designate of the Gibraltar Stock Exchange.
