Stéphanie Lhomme is a founding board member of Luxembourg for Transparency (L4T), bringing to this role 25 years of rigorous international experience in financial and legal risk consulting. Currently, Stéphanie serves as a Partner at Arendt where she heads the Forensic Investigations, Corporate Intelligence & Litigation Support practice at Arendt Regulatory & Consulting. She specialises in complex engagements for corporates, private equity houses, financial institutions, and public organisations, covering fraud, misconduct and corruption investigations, worldwide asset searches, AML investigations, anti-bribery and anti-corruption reviews and strategic intelligence assignments.

Stéphanie has been a persistent champion for elevating the importance of anti-corruption measures within Luxembourg, often highlighting the inadequacy of existing AML frameworks alone to effectively address sophisticated corruption risks.

Having covered Europe & Africa for the past 20 years, Stéphanie has been responsible for account management, business development, and people management, assisting clients facing complex regulatory issues such as investigations into corruption under FCPA, UKBA, Sapin II and related frameworks, AML matters, and internal fraud investigations. Her work also includes the design and implementation of compliance programmes with a focus on anti-corruption.

She has successfully built and expanded business units from the start (including at FTI Consulting and Arendt), pioneered service offerings—including in cyber and crypto—and provides crucial counsel to corporate and financial clients on compliance programme architecture, advanced due diligence, and navigating internal and regulatory investigations.

Her distinguished career includes high-level roles such as Senior Managing Director at FTI Consulting in Paris, where she built the Forensic Investigations practice for France and Switzerland, and Partner for Europe & Africa at Control Risks, where she oversaw substantial regional operations and managed teams of more than 150 people across 10 countries in EMEA. She also holds senior experience from Kroll and the Big Four accounting firms.

Stéphanie is a dedicated educator, having developed and taught various training sessions and courses for clients and renowned schools and universities in Compliance, Ethics, and Investigations, including Sciences Po Paris (Master in Finance), ESCP (Master in Risks Management), the University of Grenoble (Master in Environmental Law) and the University of Luxembourg (Masters in European Economic and Financial Criminal Law). She holds an MBA (Drexel University), a BA in Finance (ESCP), and executive governance certification (Sciences Po). Beyond her professional roles, she is a Commanding Officer in the French Navy Reserve, a testament to her commitment to leadership and public service.

As a founding board member, Stéphanie Lhomme will apply her deep strategic and financial acumen to shape L4T's strategic direction, governance framework, and long-term sustainability, significantly enhancing the organization's capacity for impactful, evidence-based advocacy and practical compliance solutions.
