RAW Compliance Awards 2021
Rashada Timkee named 'One to Watch' in the RAW Compliance Awards 2021
Rashada Timkee is a collaborative Compliance professional with over 10 years of experience in financial services and a unique blend of experience in both first and second line roles.
Rashada strives to gain insight and add value to spaces she is a part of, and is passionate about influencing the right compliance culture and encouraging knowledge and experience sharing.
"I strive to cultivate a sense of community by empowering others and prioritizing belonging, transparency and collaboration. This acknowledgement is a humbling reminder that you can never go wrong in service of others. I'm convinced the best is yet to come!
This past year I've learned the need to gain comfort with the unknown. It's something I'm still working on, but overcoming that internal need for certainty is half the battle. I've learned to recognize the opportunity in ambiguity. Being able to embrace an ever evolving landscape is truly a super power I'm working to further develop."
What advice would you give to aspiring individuals in your field?
"My advice would be to never underestimate the value of relationship building (not to be confused with networking with ulterior motives). It's not about the quantity but the quality of meaningful connections you can develop out of genuine curiosity. Take advantage of opportunities to get to know those around you - the folks behind the processes and procedures (at all levels). You never know where it may lead!"
