Specialist Management Consultancy Aerice Augments Risk Capabilities
- with Appointment of Dan Geoghegan as Global Head of Risk & Compliance
Specialist London-based management consultancy Aerice announces
the appointment of Dan Geoghegan as its new Global Head of Risk &
Compliance. This moves further extends Aerice’s specialisation in
risk and compliance-based consultancy, complementing its existing
Business and IT Transformation offerings. Dan has over 13 years’
dedicated risk management experience, joining Aerice from Deutsche
Bank, where he was previously working in the Risk Chief Operating
Office and also as Global Head of Market Risk Operations.
Aerice director Stuart Owers comments: “Efficient risk management is a critical issue for
every financial institution, and there are many factors that make implementation especially
challenging at the current time – from the increased amount of regulation and government
interaction they are facing, to the increased amounts of operational risk in the marketplace.
Implementing the right solution is fundamental to ensuring long-term sustainability – with
the costs of adopting a short-term fix representing simply too high a risk. Dan’s expertise
perfectly complements our long-standing track record for high profile risk and compliance
projects. We are delighted to welcome him in to the Aerice team, enabling us to fulfil the
high demand for expert risk services.”
Aerice’s holistic risk framework and change management focus covers all the key areas,
across Credit Risk, Market Risk, Liquidity Risk, and Operational Risk, as well as
Regulation and Government, Legal and Compliance. Global Head of Risk & Compliance,
Dan Geoghegan, elaborates: “The key to successful risk management strategies lies in the
creation of a transparent, accountable and above all efficient risk framework. Aerice has
worked extensively within risk departments at leading organisations, gaining an
outstanding reputation for delivering a best practice approach. For financial institutions,
the future is only going to become more complex in terms of the risk factors they have to
cater for. From our point of view, we are extending our solution set to provide the most
comprehensive set of services – incorporating Basel III & CRD3 & 4 requirements and
external audit remediation, as well as budget allocation and prioritisation through to
change management to achieve strategic implementation and goals.“
Aerice has successfully completed risk and compliance projects for a wide cross-section of
leading organisations, including Barclays Bank, Brown Brothers Harriman and Deutsche
Bank.
