About Shavonne Wyche-Davis

I am an analytical, detail-driven, and multi-faceted professional with a seasoned risk management background, a history of developing and optimizing a robust compliance function, and a talent for aligning teams around common goals. I combine over 10 years’ experience providing compliance guidance and leadership for multiple high-profile organizations; developing integrated risk management frameworks to minimize and mitigate operational risk exposure; achieving millions of dollars in potentially avoided fines; and carefully shaping the processes and policies that sustain an efficient, productive, and highly competitive organization. I excel at identifying and remediating gaps in compliance, training employees in compliance best practices, cultivating trusted-advisor relationships with staff of all levels, facilitating operational audits and conducting remedial actions, and maintaining a current knowledge of government mandates and emerging regulatory environments. I am a supportive team leader with a strong ability to take charge of projects, train and empower others, and motivate those around me to do their best work. I believe a leader’s primary duty is to cultivate, professionally develop, and grow confidence in her team. I have the ability, expertise, and coaching skills to drive my team to success. I have the communication skills to clearly articulate my vision, persuade people to take action, and get the ball rolling in the right direction. Whether I’m sending out emails, communicating with a team member, negotiating with a vendor, or anything in between; I communicate quickly, accurately, and effectively.
