Background

About Chris Lovitt

Hi, my name is Chris! I am a Senior Enterprise and Operational Risk Leader with 13+ years of experience in large financial institutions and government agencies. Colleagues know me as someone who steps into high-stakes situations with clarity, persistence, and a focus on building trust between business leaders, auditors, and regulators. I have spent my career helping organizations strengthen their risk posture by embedding governance discipline, improving control assurance, and fostering a culture of accountability. At Wells Fargo, I led a 14-member team in closing critical MRAs under a federal consent order, an experience that showed me how the right governance, transparent reporting, and consistent follow-through can transform risk programs. I have guided enterprise-level RCSA governance, improved remediation cycle times, integrated AI-driven analytics into testing routines, and delivered KRI insights that helped leaders act faster and more decisively. My background as a CPA and former auditor gives me a unique ability to translate regulatory expectations into practical solutions that business teams can execute. I believe strong risk management is about more than passing exams; it is about giving leaders the clarity and confidence to make better decisions. I bring the combination of strategic insight, technical rigor, and collaborative leadership needed to help organizations prepare for future challenges, strengthen resilience, and build lasting trust with stakeholders. I look forward to connecting with you here on LinkedIn.
