My comprehensive and dynamic knowledge of commercial credit and lending comes from my extensive experience in the financial services industry. For most of my career my passion has been designing, building, and leading top notch credit teams. With the skills I have developed I can add value in multiple roles, including credit risk management and oversight, as well as sales/implementation support for credit risk technology. Working smoothly across department lines to achieve buy-in and support from relevant stakeholders has been key to my success. Viewing the process from the perspective of adjacent departments is an important aspect to understand, build, and improve any process. It enables me to ensure hand-offs between departments are preserved or improved through any proposed changes. This establishes confidence with those department leaders and promotes collaboration and buy-in.Developing talent has also been a core strength in my success. Being open, honest, and supportive toward those with whom I have worked has earned me strong loyalty and commitment to the mission and success of the team. It has also rewarded me with the long-term benefit of having a strong network of industry professionals I can call on to share and strengthen my knowledge and perspective on a wide range of topics.Developing and improving processes, policies, and teams are my strengths and are the most satisfying aspects of my professional life.Specialties: • Team Leadership• Strategic Thinking • Risk Mitigation• Risk Selection• Policy Development / Implementation• Regulatory Compliance
