Prudential Cover Letter

I am writing you to express my strong interest in the Risk Reporting & Analytics Director position currently offered by MUFG. As a senior risk management professional, I bring a background in operational risk framework design and implementation. In my current position as Vice President of Risk Management, I had the opportunity to shape and lead these efforts at Prudential Financial, a global Fortune 500 firm with an industry recognized excellence for control.

Reviewing the responsibilities of the position, I see an excellent match with my skills and experience. Much of my career has focused on enhancing Prudential’s ability to understand and manage the risks that exist within the company. Most recently, I was a leader on the project team tasked with transitioning Prudential’s Operational Risk department to serve as a second line of defense. In this project, I collaborated with corporate and business leaders to establish common risk and control taxonomies, establish enterprise-wide standards, such as risk level definitions and business structure. Furthermore, I collaborated with other control organizations including Compliance, Internal Audit, Sarbanes-Oxley and others, to drive adoption of these common language points. These efforts provided Prudential management with consistency among all its mitigation efforts resulting in more accurate reporting.
As noted in the enclosed resume, I have served as ORM’s application architect, designing many of Prudential’s past and current control processes, supervising the system development life cycle and ultimately assuming responsibility for the ongoing systems and user support of ORM’s application portfolio that supported our Risk Inventory, RCSA, KRI and Risk Event processes. Additionally, I managed the company’s consolidated Issue Management and Action Plan tracking
