About the practice
Advice grounded in how regulated businesses actually operate.
Hyacinth Michael is an independent advisory practice led by Chimma Uba. We bring together deep financial-services experience, technology risk expertise, and a business-first understanding of governance.
That perspective helps us bridge the gap between technical teams, control functions, and executive leadership so risk becomes a shared language, not a separate exercise.
