We’re pleased to welcome Rob Anderson to CrowdProperty as our new Head of Risk and Compliance. Rob will lead our approach to risk management, regulatory compliance and financial crime prevention.
As CrowdProperty focuses on delivering consistently strong outcomes for our investors and property developer customers, maintaining a robust and pragmatic approach to risk management, regulatory compliance and financial crime prevention is essential. Rob’s appointment strengthens this capability and ensures we have the right oversight, governance and controls in place to operate safely and sustainably.
Why Rob joined CrowdProperty
Rob was drawn to CrowdProperty’s purpose and the way we help open up property development investment to a broader community.
I really liked the model CrowdProperty has taken to enable retail investors to participate in the world of property development. The experience and credibility of the team was an important factor too, and it’s also great to be working back in Birmingham.
What Rob will be responsible for
Based at the firm’s Birmingham HQ, Rob will lead our approach to risk management and compliance across the business, helping ensure we continue to operate with the right controls as the business evolves.
Rob will focus on:
- Risk management frameworks that support sustainable decision-making
- Regulatory compliance, ensuring the right oversight and governance is in place
- Fighting financial crime, including the systems and processes designed to protect customers and the business
- Working closely with teams across CrowdProperty so risk and compliance enables growth, rather than slowing it down
In my role, I’m responsible for ensuring that CrowdProperty has the right approach to risk, compliance and fighting financial crime, helping the business develop safely while delivering good outcomes for investors and developers.

- Head of Conduct Risk & Compliance, Policy and Controls at Legal & General
- Senior Compliance Manager (Conduct Risk) at HSBC
- Senior risk roles within Lloyds Banking Group
- Managing consultant work spanning process and performance improvement, compliance, risk and customer experience
In recent years, Rob has delivered major programmes including the design and implementation of end-to-end control frameworks, closing significant audit points for clients, and guiding control assessment, testing and alignment to enterprise risk management rollouts. He has also led operating model and process redesign initiatives to achieve multi-year efficiency and cost-reduction targets.
What success looks like over the next 12 months
Rob is excited about supporting CrowdProperty’s momentum into 2026 – helping the business operate safely, while continuing to protect customers and strengthen controls.
