Background

About Mark Schmidt

I am a collaborative business partner with more than 15 years driving internal audit, primarily within the financial services sector. My background is a blend of in-house audit leadership and client consulting engagements, with expertise spanning controls validation, regulatory & operational risk management, and process improvement. Establishing and maintaining compliant practices that mitigate risk across the organization can be an overwhelming challenge. Working alongside business executives and functional leaders, I deliver a collaborative approach to establish operational frameworks that meet regulatory requirements while streamlining and improving processes. I possess foundational Big Four experience with KPMG, alongside a master’s in Accounting & Business Administration. Clients I have advised as a co-source or loan staff include Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, Bank of Marin, State Street Bank & Trust, Atlantic Trust, Eaton Vance, and Mizuho Bank.
