With 20 years of expertise in underwriting/credit risk management and a relentless commitment to credit quality assurance, I currently serve as SVP, Credit Assurance within the Risk Management Department at M&T Bank for the CRE, C&I, and Specialty portfolios. Upholding the highest standards in credit analysis and risk mitigation, my mission is to align my rigorous industry analysis competencies with the bank's strategic goals. My role allows me to bring a wealth of diverse perspectives to our team, fostering an environment of continuous improvement and excellence.
As VP Underwriter II at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, I honed my skills in managing credit relationships for companies with revenues ranging from $50MM to $4B, including non-investment grade businesses. My responsibilities included jointly approving credit and treasury transactions, which equipped me with a robust understanding of wholesale enterprise credit for business banking and middle market companies.
As a VP in the Credit Division of the Americas for MUFG's Global Commercial and Investment Bank, I covered large corporates and some FI's in the 2LOD.
Additionally, I was a Director at S&P Global for 13 years covering financial institutions including finance companies, captives, and regional banks. As a bond/ratings analyst, I published company/industry research and met with investors. Held CEO/CFO relationships with issuers and spoke at conferences.
These experiences, paired with my tutoring in finance and certifications, ensure that I deliver exceptional insights and guidance in my current leadership role at M&T Bank.
