Sr. Executive Director, Financial Risk Oversight
CurrentAs Head of Financial Risk Oversight at OCC, I am responsible for a 2nd line risk team that provides independent and constructive challenge to OCC's 1st line risk management methodologies, processes, and reporting. The Financial Risk Oversight team closely collaborates with adjacent 2nd line GRC functions including third-party risk management, operational risk management and controls, model risk management, data and information governance, and compliance. Such collaboration involves developing and reporting risk appetites, risk tolerances, and key risk indicators; reviewing and opining on processes, procedures, and controls; and, reviewing the business assumptions that influence the design and implementation of risk models at OCC. Our team goal is to monitor data in a novel way to identify emerging trends and gaps in risk identification; conduct focused reviews of 1st line financial risk to challenge, validate, and escalate risk issues; and, engage in a highly collaborative way to influence current initiatives in ways to achieve the best outcomes for OCC and the options industry.
