Anna is responsible for leading the Office of Trade Sanctions Implementation (OTSI) in the Department for Business and Trade (DBT). To maximise the impact of the unprecedented package of sanctions against Russia imposed by the UK, OTSI has been set up as a dedicated Government unit, equipped with new powers, which will strengthen trade sanctions implementation and enforcement.

Anna is a highly experienced senior civil servant. Prior to moving to DBT to take up her current role last year, Anna spent most of her career at HM Treasury in wide-ranging leadership, policy and delivery roles, including leading the economic response to the Covid pandemic, on savings and pensions, consumer policy and financial services regulation.
