Brendan Whyte

@brendanwhyte

Regulatory engagement leader at Citibank N.A., leading supervisory reviews and regulatory reporting for operational risk.

United States
Message

At Citibank N.A., I lead regulatory engagement for Operational Risk Management and the Enterprise Data Office, including end-to-end regulatory exams and supervisory reviews. I oversee recurring supervisory meetings and regulatory reporting, and help turn complex operational risk information into clear, actionable narratives.

Previously, I examined financial firms at FINRA, where I investigated trading patterns and built and referred formal cases involving AML violations, fraud, misrepresentation, and supervision failures. Across banking and risk advisory roles, I’ve worked on compliance, operational risk, and internal controls; at HSBC BankUSA, I led internal audits and reviews that reduced monthly errors and losses by 55%.
