Luciana Moreli
@lucianamoreli
Senior credit & enterprise risk professional combining underwriting, portfolio monitoring, and AI-assisted risk reporting.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior credit and enterprise risk professional with 18+ years of banking experience across Canada and Brazil. I adjudicate commercial transactions up to $50MM and guide decisions with OSFI/BCB-aligned underwriting and risk controls. I own post-funding audit, covenant monitoring, and exception remediation to protect portfolio quality.
In my most recent role, I monitor active and booked exposures at a portfolio level by tracking covenant compliance, surfacing early-warning indicators, recommending mitigation strategies, and escalating deteriorating files to risk leadership. I also contribute to process improvement and automation using SQL and foundational Python, actively leveraging AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT) to draft procedural notes, policy updates, and exception documentation. I’ve been recognized for results, ranking among the top 3 adjudicators by volume and SLA turnaround and earning “Extraordinary” performance ratings three consecutive years, including Team iSucceed (2023).
Earlier, I led full-cycle commercial underwriting across real estate, construction, cash-flow, and asset-based lending, building audit trails and written rationales that held up under regulated review. I track portfolio health with key metrics such as NPL, LDR, RAROC, and TAT, and I bring business impact from credit-committee and relationship experience, including improving portfolio profitability by 25% through risk-based pricing and RAROC-driven decisioning.
