Sector Experience

In his time in New York Frankie led a number of large scale, regulator (FRB/OCC/CFPB/NYDFS) driven remediation projects for some of the world’s largest banks. These projects all centred on key regulatory issues such as governance, regulatory compliance (BSA/AML, Financial Crime and Consumer Protection) and operational, enterprise and third party risk management (outsourcing). 

Since his return to Dublin in 2017, Frankie has lead a number of scale remediation projects for a number of regulated firms on the back of CBI RMPs centered on governance, risk management and compliance effectiveness and maturity. He has also completed a number of significant CBI mandated independent thematic reviews focussed on AML framework effectiveness, risk governance effectiveness and maturity and risk culture.
