Director of Fuller Analysis: Jane launched this independent consultancy after leaving the Financial Times in 2005. The common threads in her work for companies, regulators and firms of advisers are independent analysis, financial expertise, knowledge of capital markets and high-class communications skills.

Co-director of the Centre for the Study of Financial Innovation: an independent think-tank that runs debates on controversial areas of financial practice and regulation, produces reports including the Banking Banana Skins survey, and has a fellowship programme that covers, so far, insurance and the payments system. Publications for the CSFI: Principles in Practice - an antidote to regulatory prescription (2007)

Consulting editor and columnist, Financial World:  the monthly magazine of the IFS School of Finance, formerly the Chartered Institute of Bankers. The CSFI produces the magazine and Jane led its relaunch in 2007. It reaches more than 30,000 members of the IFS and opinion formers on the CSFI's database.

Chairman, Accounting Advocacy Committee of the CFA Society of the UK: CFA UK is part of the leading international analysts organisation. In its advocacy work it represents investment professionals on both the buy and sell side. We are increasingly being consulted by the IASB and other regulators.

Accounting Standards Board: Jane advises the ASB on communication and its parent body, the Financial Reporting Council, on principles-based regulation.

Former Financial Editor of the Financial Times: Jane spent more than 18 years on the FT, culminating in the role of Financial Editor, head of the Companies & Markets section. She launched the FTfm fund management supplement and was part of the FT's senior management team. A former writer for the Lex, Leader and Lombard columns, she continues to train FT journalists and, with an FT colleague, is co-editor of Harriman's Financial Dictionary.

Before the FT: from state grammar school to Cambridge University to provincial newspapers and specialist magazines, including launching a rival to Horse & Hound. As you might guess from that, horse riding is one of her interests as is developing her second home in France.
