I managed Eileen for over 5 years, having hired her to run Risk Management for the Emerging Market Clearing Corporation (EMCC) and subsequently asked her to design and implement a best in class Operational Risk Management framework, both of which she successfully accomplished. She was a dedicated partner in working with me to enhance our risk managment enterprise. Eileen is knowledgeable, hard working and professional in her approach. There wasn't anything that Eileen couldn't or wouldn't tackle when the need arose and I could trust that she would get it done with minimal oversight. She always knew when to escalate and had my full confidence as well as that of our board committees and regulators.

For the Club to be effective, each member will have to come with a positive attitude and be open to constructive feedback and suggestions.

Engaged in connection with a FINRA Arbitration to testify on behalf of the client who was the defendant in this case. The questions I asked in preparation caused Lead Counsel to kick the tires on their legal defense strategy. While it stood up to the scrutiny, I was then asked to sit in on conversations with other witnesses to be a third set of eyes and ears.

Board Director, Officer and Committee Member
-
Jun 2010 - Jun 2017
In June 2010, I was elected to the Board of Directors of Clifton House Owners Corporation, a 93 year old building located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in a historic district subject to oversight of and compliance with the rules of the Landmark Preservation Commission which needed to approve all changes to the exterior of the building. In my first term, I was appointed Chair of the Sales and Sublet Committee where I strengthened financial analysis of and information received from prospective buyers. As Board President the following year, I was a member of the Legal Committee and headed up the Physical Plant Committee, responsible for all capital improvement or replacement projects. As a life long learner, I enjoyed the opportunity to work with our subject matter experts and building architects to choose vendors and oversee the projects, keeping them on track and assuring timely completion. Among these were replacement of an oil tank, conversion to dual fuel (gas and cleaner oil), environmental impact issues, Local Law 11 which required 5 year inspections of the facade for loose brick and developing related remediation plans, replacement of our roof which was beyond useful life and needed to comply with city regulations to conserve energy, installation of a roof garden, many leaks, replacing the core of our electrical system. My other major accomplishment was to convince three individuals to run for the Board to get new blood involved and to stave off a movement to implement term limits which wold have been complicated. I supported these candidates, who won the election and thus I was able to leave the Board after serving for 7 years. My true reward for these years of service was to be asked to continue overseeing the roof garden working with our Landscaper. This gives me a lot of pleasure although this year is a challenge given the cold Spring and late opening of the nurseries. Show less

Senior Enterprise Risk Management Executive, EMCC and Operational Risk Management

1997 - 2011
THE DEPOSITORY TRUST AND CLEARING CORPORATION DTCC and its global subsidiaries are a critical component of the global financial services industry infrastructure, clearing and settling equity and fixed income securities transactions and is the U.S. Central Depository for issuance of a wide range of instruments. I joined the DTCC in early 1997 in the role of Enterprise Risk Manager for Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation (EMCC) a subsidiary dealing with the clearance and settlement of emerging market debt. I was then asked to establish a best in class operational risk management framework for DTCC and its subsidiaries in response to new requirements under Basel 2, under the auspices of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) for banks to identify their operational risks and determine how much regulatory capital should be held against to cover those risks. Among my key accomplishments were: - satisfying key decision makers at the SEC and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York that EMCC's risk management framework met their criteria, thus enabling the regulatory approval required to launch EMCC - using this framework to manage and mitigate EMCC's risk exposure during various Emerging Market Debt crises - leading various risk system development projects to improve EMCC's Risk Management System - developing and implementing "best in class" operational risk management program (ORM) for DTCC, meeting all regulatory requirements through effective design and communication with DTCC's regulators and auditors - achieving corporate-wide buy-in and understanding of ORM requirements - recognized by industry and regulators as ORM subject matter expert by participating as Speaker and Panelist at various risk conferences and industry group meetings.

Vice President, Office of the Chief Risk Officer
-
1991 - 1997
Within the office of the Chief Risk Officer, NatWest Bancorp*, I was responsible for portfolio management and risk assessment for credit and non-credit products. Once the risk was evaluated and criteria for adding to the portfolio, accepted, I authored appropriate risk mitigation policies and procedures for dissemination to business lending officers and product managers. I was also part of the team that created an on-line Credit Policy Manual. I also represented NatWest Bancorp in an ongoing RMA Industry Roundtable convened to identify the risks presented in current ACH Payment Processing, a product offered by NACHA. Our conclusions and recommendations were presented to NACHA, which subsequently modified its operating procedures and contracts to reflect our suggestions. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ *In a period of considerable consolidation within the banking sector, NatWest was acquired by Fleet Bank, NA. I was offered a position as Treasury Risk Manager, due to a long standing relationship with the Deputy Chief Risk Officer of Fleet Bank, N.A, who represented Mellon Bank at the aforementioned RMA ACH Roundtable. I opted instead to accept an offer to be the Vice President of Risk Management for EMCC. Subsequent to my departure, Fleet Bank was acquired by Bank of America. Show less

After completing Chase's credit training program for commercial lending officers, I held a series of progressively more responsible positions in International Banking. I was the Country Manager for Israel, Turkey and Cyprus, responsible for managing country limits and all business activity (financing and product delivery) with the government (MOF, Central Banks) government-owned companies (airlines, utilities) and correspondent banks. I served as Chase's representative for the Republic of Turkey's Debt Restructuring which involved partnering with senior executives from Lazard Freres and JP Morgan to develop a proposal to refinance Turkey's sovereign debt, which was acceptable to other lenders, the IMF and the O.E.C.D. The tri-party approach became the model for addressing subsequent emerging market debt crises. Show less
