About Nickolas Balsamo

Starting on a personal note, I am an avid world traveler, a lifelong learner taking on new challenges to constantly be growing, and a collaborator and people-developer committed to excellence and the success of my teams and my colleagues. I am an eager learner of new skills and take on new challenges in order to be constantly growing.Professionally, I\'m passionate about finance, treasury, and risk management in my work because when done well, it\'s a strategic view for the long-term success and profitability of the company without inhibiting healthy growth. Most growing businesses get squeezed financially by the demands of cash flows and capital expenditures in the competitive landscape of our digital age. As a Manager at Accenture, I serve financial institutions through our Risk and Compliance Practice in the CFO & Enterprise Value group. With 11 years of experience in the banking and consulting industries, I have developed a strong expertise in financial forecasting and analytics, financial and strategic risks, enterprise risk programs, data and analytics, climate risk, corporate treasury functions, and international regulatory expectations in the banking industry. Accenture has helped to feed my passion for identifying industry disruptors and advocating for strategic innovation. I\'m especially well versed in the Blockchain.Before joining Accenture in December 2021, I was a Vice President and Liquidity Risk Manager at Bank of America, where I supported enterprise-wide programs, especially focused on the development of the firm\'s Climate Risk program. I also led the creation of risk insights, scenario analysis, executive dashboards, and created a Model Risk Coverage Program. I created new synergies to bridge gaps between treasury disciplines.
