EXECUTIVE POSITIONING STATEMENT

Across my career, I have led institutions through their most complex, high-stakes governance events, federal conservatorship, AML exam failures, audit and compliance breakdowns, and rapid-build programs launched under urgent regulatory timelines.

I do not manage tasks. I build governance systems that allow organizations to grow safely, withstand regulatory scrutiny, and operate with clarity and confidence.

SIGNATURE EVENTS

1. Countrywide — Top Auditor After One Year (Role Required 12 Years Experience + CPA)

Chosen for a role that required 12 years of experience, a CPA, and a CIA; none of which I had at the time. Within one year, I became the top auditor, of over 150 in the company and received the Premier Performer Award (2005).

2. Capital One — Selected for Role Labeled “JD Required” Without a Law Degree

Recruited for a role requiring a JD based solely on my mastery of banking laws and governance. Delivered all compliance and GRC foundations for their mortgage business under a six month regulatory runway.

3. Fannie Mae — Federal Conservatorship

Built the first compliance and risk team for a 250 person division during one of the most scrutinized periods in financial history.

4. Bank OZK — AML Rebuild & Audit Transformation

Rebuilt AML and audit programs after regulatory failure and earned commendations from federal and state regulators.

5. Enterprise Modernization

Designed or rebuilt audit, SOX/ITGC, ERM, AML, cybersecurity, and resilience frameworks for Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 institutions, including large global payment processors and financial infrastructure providers navigating major industry-wide disruptions.
