Profile

As the head of the Modelling Group at SMBC for the EMEA region, my primary focus is to oversee the quantification and management of a spectrum of financial risks including credit,operational & market risks etc. My team's dedication to establishing robust Model Risk Management Framework and advancing Stress Testing methodologies has been a cornerstone of our strategic approach to risk assessment. With over five years of dedication to this role, my team's efforts are instrumental in navigating complex regulatory landscapes and reinforcing the bank's resilience in the multifaceted risk environment.


My responsibility recently extends to developing Climate Change Risk Assessment and scenario analysis models, ensuring SMBC stays at the forefront of climate change risk evaluation. An advocate for precision and analytical depth, I am committed to fostering robust discussions with regulatory bodies and steering our risk management practices towards excellence.
