EMPOWERING FINANCIAL SERVICES COMPANIES TO DELIVER A MORE INTENTIONAL CULTURE THAT MITIGATES RISK EXPOSURE

 
 
 

When you’re at risk, you want unparalleled insight.

Many risks are emerging that weren’t even in the conversation just a few years ago.

Risk Exposure Wordle by Executive Balance

Shifting cultural norms. Disruptive business models. Changes in the geopolitical landscape. Shifting customer preferences and demographics. Natural disasters and epidemics. Big data analytics.

These and a host of other significant risk drivers are all contributing to the risk dialogue happening today in boardrooms and executive suites. 

As a financial decision maker, you must pay close attention to risk triggered by emerging technologies, the growth of the digital world and online banking services, as well as the ever-growing exposure to cyber breeches, terrorism and technology risks. Other more familiar risks may include theft by check kiting, premises liability, security guard risk, ATM and wire transfer exposures and social engineering fraud, to name a few.

 
 

Let’s face it. Managing Financial Risk is your responsibility.

You know that mitigating risk requires leadership excellence, superior analysis and great people. Even then, your corporate culture can make or break your efforts.  And, having the right people isn’t enough. You must also foster the right culture so that employee behavior consistent with company values isn’t something your employees have to think about because it is ingrained. Strong cultures instill values that become second nature.

“As a C-level Financial Risk Executive, I understand how you might feel frustrated with traditional Financial Risk strategies. So often they are weighted toward operational goals without equal attention to organizational culture and norms that leaders must set by example.”

 
 

“I bring experienced insight and a balanced perspective to complex financial risk challenges.”

Understanding and mitigating financial risk isn’t for everyone, but it’s second-nature to me. I’ve been at it for may years — successfully managing brutally complex risk frameworks for a top tier bank for over two decades.
