Experience

1. Founder - Chief Executive Officer

   Opportunity Group, Llc

   Jan 2007 — Present

   I am one of the co-founders of Opportunity Group and currently serve as the chief technical officer for the firm on international banking programs. I possess an MBA in finance/banking and I began my regulatory career in the early 1980s with the Comptroller of the Currency and continued my regulatory work with the FHLB-Dallas which later became the the Office of Thrift Supervision. My regulatory career in the financial sector has covered three significant periods, including • the “oil and gas” collapse of the early 1980s;• the “Savings and Loans” crisis from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s; • the fall of the Berlin Wall, which precipitated the demise of the republics of the former Soviet Union.Each of these periods required its own unique set of technical skills and the ability to manage and maneuver through a set of highly complex cultural and political environments. During my career, I have served in the following capacities: 1) as the de facto management of more than 30 financial institutions that were in financial distress; 2) as a court-appointed special deputy receiver for 7 insurance companies, 3) managed a portfolio of distressed assets on behalf of the Resolution Trust Corporation, and 4) served as the team leader on several multi-year international development programs designed to improve the transparency and efficiency of the host country’s financial sector. I am a Certified Fraud Examiner and have served as an expert witness on cases involving fiduciary responsibilities, conflicts of interest, and fraud related issues including misapplication of assets, documentation of mortgages, the evaluation of non-performing and impaired assets, and corporate governance failures. I have provided written and oral testimony to the banking committees in both the U.S House and Senate and other foreign governments at the ministerial level including the drafting, adoption, and implementation of a wide variety of laws and regulations.
