About James

Director with 20+ years in financial services and a solid track record of leading transformational initiatives for finance and risk organizations, most recently concentrating on prudential risk and remediation in the areas of regulatory capital, stress testing / capital management oversight, and model risk. Key strengths include developing and leading teams, effectively communicating complex issues to diverse audiences, and building productive relationships with regulators and stakeholders across all three lines of defense. Recent accomplishments include designing and implementing second line oversight frameworks for stress testing and capital management, coordinating between internal stakeholders and regulator to finalize a new regulatory capital framework, and building a new stakeholder vetting function for major model releases.

I am passionate about helping clients build and strengthen capabilities in the areas of prudential risk, analytics, and model governance. I look forward to discussing how I can help your organization.
