Served the better part of nearly eleven years as a Section Chief providing oversight to teams of examiners engaged in carrying out the agency’s regulatory and resolution mandates for large complex financial institutions. As one of the first ten individuals hired into a new group formed by Chairman Sheila Bair, in response to the 2008 financial crisis, I played an important role in staffing and building onsite supervisory programs and teams for nineteen complex universal, investment, and foreign banking institutions. Responsible for presenting critical assessment of complex risks and regulatory matters impacting assigned firms to FDIC senior management. Maintained ongoing dialogue and interaction with senior management teams of complex institutions with specific responsibility to communicate agency views on key risk and policy issues to C-Suite and Board of Directors. Consistently ranked as one of the top midsize federal agencies to work at. I can provide a first hand account for anyone interested as to why that accolade rings true. Tremendous benefits, remarkable employees, and a clear mission to support. An organization that I will truly miss being a part of.
