About Guy Cochran

Did you know that 88% of companies say risk exposure is increasing—yet only 1 in 5 say they’re truly prepared? At one point, a global client came to me in chaos—$133 million unaccounted for, confusion across departments, and expenses bleeding from the balance sheet. Within weeks, I implemented a risk and control strategy that helped them properly account for every dollar and saved them $1 million per year in recurring costs. This is what I do. I bring clarity to complexity. With 15+ years of experience in Enterprise Risk Management, Internal Controls, and Regulatory Compliance, I specialize in transforming inefficient processes into sustainable, audit-ready operations that strengthen financial integrity and stakeholder trust. I’m not just checking boxes—I’m rethinking how risk functions contribute to the bottom line. Whether it's SOX compliance remediation, SEC/OCC/AML alignment, or change management across business units, I lead with both strategic oversight and technical depth. Are your risk and control frameworks a value driver—or just a cost center? I’m actively seeking a Director-level opportunity where I can partner with senior leadership to enhance governance, mitigate risk, and deliver measurable financial impact. If your company is ready to evolve from reactive compliance to proactive control, let’s connect.
