My primary focus in the role of Operational Risk Manager was to provide oversight and assurance in relation to the Group’s major Treasury projects and the Project Governance Framework. This role required me to work through complex and varied situations where my analytical thinking was required to identify and resolve scenarios that could heighten the risk profile of the Bank. This allowed me to provide input to business solutions.
