Our team is made up of talented and hardworking professionals who think creatively and work collaboratively in an open environment to deliver results, drive innovation, and solve difficult problems.

Our focus is to address risks and related issues by providing risk management as a service, focusing on providing and delivering value to help businesses and departments thoughtfully incorporate risk into decision making. 

The CRO collaborates with other functions, including Legal and Compliance, Finance, Operational Resilience and Internal Audit, to provide centralized risk frameworks, processes, tools, training and advisory services to businesses and departments. In addition, we are responsible for risk reporting to firm-wide partners and senior management. In an increasingly regulated global economic environment, we are looking to grow our team, seeking highly experienced Risk professionals.
