About Frank Lodestro

I’m a skilled senior technical risk manager with 15+ years of experience leading successful information security projects.Over the course of my career, I’ve held roles in compliance and controls, honing my skills in information security and control management. In 2017, I was recruited by BNY Mellon Treasury Services Technology to manage treasury technology risk for SWIFT/CHAPS payment applications. Since joining the team at BNY Mellon, I’ve also taken on the role of Scrum Leader/Project Manager for Financial Crimes Technology. I manage 50+ applications, lead compliance, and provide high level assessments of risk.My key strengths are in risk management and continuous improvement. At BNY Mellon, I’ve been able to build a secure vulnerability program to assess vulnerabilities and data privacy, leading to a 100% reduction in the number of critical and high breached vendor application vulnerabilities.I’ve been involved in a wide variety of different projects at BNY Mellon, including centralizing scanning in the US (which involved moving 26 European Sanction divisions to a central location). I was a key player in achieving ISO27001 recertification (2018, 2021) and worked closely with auditors to successfully pass two audits. I enjoy working on complex technical projects with multiple moving pieces.In previous roles with Citi, I had the opportunity to sharpen my skills in compliance and created processes that reduced the number of overdue deliverables and provided more efficient frameworks for the systems that monitored risk. I’m a fast-paced leader with strong project management abilities and skill in fostering team relationships. I’m looking forward to my next professional challenge. Let’s connect!
