Enterprise risk, credit, compliance, and digital banking advisory — grounded in 35+ years across capital markets, commercial lending, treasury, and Third-Party Risk Management at top-tier U.S. financial institutions.
Financial services doesn't tolerate generic risk advice. Basel III/IV, FFIEC, SOX-ITGC, NYDFS, OCC heightened standards, FRB SR letters, anti-money-laundering, fraud, ratings agency expectations, and the credit cycle itself — each demands specialized fluency. Generic ERM templates fail here.

Founder & CEO, OfficeBeat LLC — 35+ years in information technology, capital markets, enterprise IT, and Risk Management.
Amit is widely recognized for his strategic vision, transformational leadership, and consistent delivery of excellence across capital markets, enterprise IT, and Risk Management. He has been instrumental in delivering robust portfolio management solutions and enterprise governance frameworks across Commercial Lending, Treasury Solutions, Digital Banking, IT, Security, Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM), and Corporate Strategy.
Amit's skillfully and patiently led our leadership team through the ERM process, despite initial skepticism from some members. He understood our business and tailored the program specifically to our organizational context. The leadership team found the process genuinely valuable and transformative in focusing on the issues that truly matter most to our long-term success.
The fact that we instituted a formal ERM program directly contributed to our ability to achieve a significantly higher credit rating. That improved rating reduced our total bond interest expense by over $2 million — a direct, quantifiable return on our investment in enterprise risk management. The ROI exceeded every expectation we had going into the engagement.
