She will also join the Group Executive Board and report directly to the Group Chief Executive Officer.

In this newly created strategic role, Roy will oversee MNK’s global risk and regulatory agenda. Her responsibilities will include enhancing enterprise-wide governance, strengthening regulatory engagement across international jurisdictions, and aligning the Group’s risk strategy with its ambitious growth plans spanning the UK, EU, Middle East, Asia, and beyond.

Roy brings over 20 years of experience in audit, risk, and regulation, having held senior leadership positions at EY, KPMG, and the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) at the Bank of England. At the PRA, she represented the UK on global regulatory forums. Most recently, she served as a Risk Partner at EY, advising boards of major insurers on risk transformation and strategic governance.

She holds a Master of Science in Public Administration and Public Policy from the London School of Economics, is a Chartered Public Finance Accountant (CIPFA), and a member of both the Institute of Risk Management (IRM) and the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII).

Commenting on her appointment, 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.”

MNK Group Chairman Manoj Kumar welcomed her to the team, stating “Chaitali 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.”
