An international bank operating in the United States reached out to us to help support the build-out of a new Model Risk Management function, following SR 11-7 supervisory guidance. Over a period of a few months, we were able to successfully identify and place multiple candidates who had relevant Model Risk experience, coming out of more mature US financial institutions who had already faced this regulation.
