I will build your model risk management and validation framework
Executive Leader: Enterprise Risk Expert and AI Automation Developer
About this Gig
Need your model risk program to stand up under the Fed/OCC/FDIC's new SR 26-2 guidance?
I'm a former enterprise Model Risk Management Leader (Wells Fargo, GE Capital) who governed ~1,200 models under SR 11-7. I help banks, fintechs, lenders, and model vendors document, validate, and modernize their model risk programs for the April 2026 SR 26-2 framework.
What you can get:
- Model documentation aligned to SR 11-7 / SR 26-2
- Independent model validation reports (conceptual soundness, outcomes analysis, monitoring)
- SR 26-2 gap assessment + modernization roadmap (risk-tiering, validation cadence, governance)
- A full MRM framework and policy, tailored to your size and complexity
Why me:
- 20+ years in risk governance and structured finance at two SIFIs
- Deep SR 11-7 experience mapped to the new principles-based SR 26-2 model
- Plain-English, examiner-ready deliverables, never boilerplate
Every deliverable is authored fresh from expertise, never an ex-employer's documents.
Message me with your model type, current state, and goal, and I'll tell you which package fits.

FAQ
Are you a substitute for our internal MRM team or examiner?
No. I deliver expert documentation, validation, and advisory work as an independent third party. Final regulatory decisions and filings stay with your institution.
Will you reuse another bank's documents?
Never. Every deliverable is authored fresh and tailored to your models. No ex-employer materials are ever reused.
What changed from SR 11-7 to SR 26-2?
SR 26-2 (April 2026) supersedes SR 11-7 with a principles-based, risk-tiered approach, a narrower model definition, and AI carved out. I align deliverables to both.
Do you cover AI or machine-learning model governance?
SR 26-2 moves generative and agentic AI to a separate framework. I cover traditional ML models here; ask me about a dedicated AI-governance engagement.
What do you need from me to start?
Your model type and purpose, any existing documentation, your firm's size and complexity, and your target outcome (doc, validation, gap assessment, or full framework).
How is confidentiality handled?
