ABOUT RODNEY SUNADA-WONG
An experienced Risk Manager, expert in setting up governance for Digital Assets, Banking and Trading activities to help achieve profitability objectives, optimize risk-taking, and manage regulatory expectations. DIGITAL ASSETS- DeFi, CeFi, Institutional Lending, Retail LendingTRADING- Broker Dealers, Swap Dealers - Equity, Fixed Income and Commodity DerivativesBANKING- Start-up Banks and Industrial Loan Company (\"ILC\")- Asset Liability Management, Deposit Pricing, Investment Portfolios - MBS, ABS- Wealth Management Products - Jumbo & Conforming Whole Loan Mortgages, Asset-Based LendingI enter into new situations to help businesses achieve profitability objectives while optimizing risk-taking, and managing regulators’ expectations. I was brought as CRO in to a digital asset startup with significant troubles to transform governance; worked with CEO to create new functional groups, bring in key senior personnel, establish governance committees and working groups to implement urgent projects. As CRO, I recruited and trained the team that implemented risk governance for Morgan Stanley\'s Broker Dealer / Futures Commission Merchant / Derivatives Swap Dealers. Working closely with businesses and functional groups, we reduced peak regulatory risk capital requirements by >25% for a $300+Bn Broker Dealer without impacting profitability targets.In the past, I created new risk governance to enable Morgan Stanley\'s Wealth Management Division to roll out new products, and partnered with Treasury to create the Deposit Pricing model for $100+Bn FDIC-insured Banks (\"ILC\"). We transformed the balance sheet, increased ROA >1% AND reduced Interest Rate Risk of the Banking Book. At Merrill Lynch, I created the market risk framework for its start-up banks (\"ILC\") to meet regulatory expectations, and enable converting $80bn of client brokerage cash into bank deposits. I enjoy teaching Master’s level Finance classes at both Columbia University and at NYU, and serving on the Advisory Boards for GARP\'s New York Chapter, and for Risk USA. I also help guide asset allocation for the Endowment Fund for the Alumni Foundation of the Bronx High School of Science.
