Brendan Mulvey has joined Treliant, a financial services industry consulting firm, as a senior managing director and leader of the business unit for regulatory compliance, mortgage, operational, and enterprise risk management solutions.
Based in New York, Mulvey brings more than 20 years of industry and consulting experience in financial services, with a focus on risk and compliance. He has helped banks and other financial services firms build and implement risk and compliance programs – including enterprise risk, operational risk, and third-party risk management – as well as improve business operations through the application of workflow efficiency, and technology enablement, and staffing optimization.
Mulvey joins Treliant from IBM Promontory, a financial services consulting subsidiary of IBM, where he spent the last seven years and was a partner and leader of the Americas risk and compliance practice. Before that, he spent four years at Protiviti, where he was an associate director in the regulatory risk practice.
Earlier in his career, Mulvey was a compliance officer at ICICI Bank and a compliance associate at Brown Brothers Harriman.
He has a juris doctor and a bachelor’s degree in finance from St. John’s University.
“Increasingly we are assisting clients with managing their way through heightened pressure to measure and control their risks and to drive effective compliance, while balancing these efforts against cost containment initiatives,” said David Samuels, CEO of Treliant. “This makes Brendan’s appointment particularly timely as he brings unparalleled knowledge, skills, and leadership to help our clients better balance business performance and regulatory considerations while modernizing operations through program transformation, the use of hybrid staffing models, and the implementation of emerging data and analytics that solve critical regulatory and business challenges.”
Treliant was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in Washington, DC. The firm provides consulting, implementation, staffing, and managed services for the regulatory compliance, risk, credit, financial crimes, and capital markets functions of financial services companies. Treliant primarily serves banks, mortgage providers, and fintechs.
“Financial services companies are facing mounting pressures to make greater strides in addressing regulatory compliance, risk, and operational efficiency, and they need advice on the most relevant, effective options for achieving and demonstrating safety and soundness,” Mulvey said. “I am pleased to join Treliant to advise companies at the crucial intersection of business, regulation, and technology, leveraging my perspective and experience to offer unmatched, tailored solutions, driving business change and achieving key objectives for our clients.”
Treliant earlier this year welcomed Rawan Abdelrazek and Michael Scarpa as managing directors.
