130+ world-class organisations. Five continents. Thirty years of measurable outcomes.
Over a 30-year executive career, Dr Nick Keca has been trusted by some of the world's most recognisable organisations to deliver complex, high-stakes transformations that others couldn't — or wouldn't attempt.
The client portfolio spans Tier-1 banking and FinTech, global technology and telecommunications, heavy engineering and energy, business process outsourcing at continental scale, and major public sector programmes. It includes household names across every major industry sector — from HSBC, Deutsche Bank and BNP Paribas to Rolls-Royce, Shell and the NHS.
What makes this portfolio rare is not its breadth alone — it is the combination of strategic advisory, operational leadership, and doctoral-level psychological insight brought to every engagement. The result: outcomes that stick.
Banking, Financial Services & RegTech
Where expertise meets regulation
The largest portion of Dr. Nick Keca's executive portfolio sits at the intersection of financial services and regulatory technology — the most demanding, most consequential, and most technically complex sector in which to operate.
As Professional Services Delivery Director, EMEA at NICE Actimize, Nick leads delivery of enterprise anti-financial crime (AFC) solutions for Tier-1 financial institutions across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa — covering Anti-Money Laundering (AML), fraud detection, Know Your Customer (KYC), Customer Due Diligence (CDD), and Market Surveillance (MSE). Deployments span on-premise, hybrid, and full cloud/SaaS environments.
Earlier engagements through Scire Quam Ltd included leading a regulator-mandated £100m–£250m customer remediation programme for a major UK retail bank under direct FCA supervision, architecting an £800m technology outsourcing contract, and executing a £120m multi-jurisdiction regulatory tax compliance programme — experience that gives him an unmatched vantage point across the full lifecycle of financial services transformation.

Engineering, Manufacturing & Energy
Built on the factory floor. Tested in the boardroom.
Dr Nick Keca's executive roots are in British and international engineering — a formative background that instilled a discipline for operational precision, commercial rigour, and delivering results under pressure that has defined every subsequent role.
Early career engagements across British Steel, UEC Industries, and Brockington & Scott saw him engineer productivity improvements of over 300%, convert substantial operating losses into double-digit net profit, and grow international sales revenue by 80% — all within condensed timeframes. Client relationships with Bechtel, Halliburton, Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems, and the global automotive sector followed, cementing a commercial track record that spans from shop-floor operations to multi-million-pound international contract negotiation.

Business Process Outsourcing & Professional Services
Continental operations. Transformational outcomes.
At the peak of his BPO career, Nick held executive P&L accountability of up to £500m, managing 15,000+ FTE across 32 pan-European sites — making him one of a small number of executives with genuine operating experience at that scale in that sector.
At Scire Quam Ltd, he delivered programme management, regulatory compliance, and operational transformation advisory to financial services and public sector clients over eight years, building a track record of complex programme leadership that complements his in-house operational experience.

Government-grade accountability. Private sector pace.

Key engagements include a £100m–£250m FCA-supervised customer remediation programme — with outreach to 500,000 affected customers — and programmes spanning HMRC, DWP, NHS, and higher education.
His experience navigating regulated environments, political stakeholders, and large-scale public-facing operations gives him credibility in this sector that is rarely matched by pure commercial executives.
