Renzo Maldonado
@renzomaldonado
Senior risk & process consultant turning complex requirements into clear controls and models.
What I'm looking for
I help companies organize their operations, control risk, and meet regulatory obligations—turning complex requirements into clear processes, models and controls. With 8+ years in risk management across the financial system, I lead projects end to end—from process design to the implementation of models and controls.
My experience spans banking, pension funds, insurance and corporates: building risk frameworks, running stress testing, and improving methodologies. I design enterprise-risk controls across processes, present risk matrices to executive committees, and coordinate stakeholders to deliver action plans.
I’m especially focused on automation and analytics—cutting process times by up to 80% using Python and building tooling for validation, reporting, and dashboards. Recent outcomes include preventing exposures exceeding USD 8M per year with cost-neutral control design, and using credit-risk analysis and IFRS 9 / ECL approaches to reduce provisions.
