I build enterprise compliance risk assessment programs for regulated financial institutions.
What I'm looking for
I lead compliance risk assessment programs for major financial institutions, most recently independently designing and executing an annual Compliance Risk Assessment for a global financial institution. Previously at Comerica Bank, I led enterprise CRA governance transformation, Board-ready reporting, monitoring dashboards, and remediation tracking for an OCC-regulated bank.
At Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, I built and led the Americas Regulatory Compliance Risk Assessment program, including a 200+ scenario control library across 30+ risk types. My earlier Deloitte work covered AML, sanctions, KYC, control testing, investigations, and consent-order remediation for globally regulated institutions.
