I have been rewarded with multiple promotions for overseeing numerous risk events/projects to mitigate risk and ensure compliance with Federal and state laws and regulations. My contributions to M&T include substantial cost savings, improved controls, enhanced risk mitigation, and expense reduction in risk management, compliance, internal audit, and wealth management.I am proud of my reputation as a champion of new ideas and initiatives while maintaining ongoing relationships and dialogue regarding emerging risks, business changes, and the latest industry developments resulting in significantly resolved/decreased regulatory, audit, compliance, and operational issues.

I improved fiduciary environment driving a better client experience, improved internal audit turnaround time and quality, implemented a compliance program consistent with SR 08-8 / CA 08-11, ensured compliance in horizontal, bank-wide review for a number of regulations / laws, and implemented a new approach in first line risk management for the wealth division.As a manager, I have recruited, trained, motivated, and supervised up to 110 personnel, achieving high staff retention through a professional, positive team environment. I take a holistic approach to problem-solving, including cultural change and improved risk management, training, sales, metric reporting, tracking, organizational structures, skillsets, and operating model.My communication style is assertive, and my negotiation approach is collaborative with a well-balanced conversation with input from multiple parties to drive to a thoughtful decision. I tend to show empathy, thoughtfulness, a result-orientation, and the ability to make difficult decisions.Specialties: Fiduciary Concepts, Risk Management Concepts, and Internal Audit Concepts for segment, acquisition, and division turnaround and risk avoidance, mitigation, and management.
