• Interpret and communicate policy developments from institutions such as the Federal Reserve, Treasury, FSOC, SEC, CFTC, OCC, BIS, and FSB, with a focus on both macroprudential and innovation-related agendas.
• Deliver client-ready briefings, memos, and presentations that synthesize regulatory developments into practical, strategic insights for executive and board-level audiences.
• Provide leadership and mentorship to junior staff, guiding project execution, quality control, and talent development.
