Background

About Michael Crosby

I’m a seasoned risk professional and proud U.S. Army veteran with over 10 years of experience in management, consulting, and process improvement. My career has taken me from advising senior military leadership on asymmetric threats to implementing robust risk and control strategies in corporate settings. Today, I specialize in analyzing complex risk environments and developing data-driven solutions that drive organizational resilience and strategic success. In my current role as an Independent Testing Specialist at Wells Fargo Corporate Risk, I leverage my deep expertise in risk management to identify vulnerabilities and optimize controls within the Wealth & Investment Management sector. My extensive background in military operations and defense consulting has honed my ability to manage risk under high-pressure situations, ensuring that strategic decisions are both effective and sustainable. I’m passionate about translating rigorous risk assessment into actionable insights, whether it’s through refining operational procedures or developing innovative training programs for diverse teams. I believe that proactive risk management isn’t just about compliance—it’s about creating sustainable value and safeguarding the future of an organization.
