Background

About Steven Hubbard

With over 20+ years of experience in risk management, regulatory compliance, and governance, I have dedicated my career to supporting financial institutions as they navigate complex regulatory challenges with integrity and resilience. I have had the privilege of working both on the regulatory side with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and on the consulting side with Promontory Financial Group, a business unit of IBM Consulting. Each role has shaped my expertise, from hands-on compliance assessments to high-stakes regulatory advisories, and each experience has deepened my commitment to effective, sustainable risk management. During my tenure at Promontory, I led impactful engagements with some of the largest U.S. financial institutions, conducting compliance and credit risk reviews for multi-billion-dollar portfolios. My work spanned enterprise risk management, internal controls, credit, and operational risk, equipping clients to not only meet regulatory standards but also strengthen their organizational resilience. Through widely recognized publications on talent management, compliance risk management, and FDIC examination activities, I have contributed thought leadership that continues to inform industry best practices. I am passionate about developing high-performing teams and mentoring the next generation of risk and compliance professionals. Driven by a commitment to supporting emerging leaders, I prioritize hands-on guidance, knowledge sharing, and strategic insights that help individuals and teams excel. My approach to coaching is rooted in creating opportunities for growth, fostering engagement, and driving operational excellence. My foundational years with the FDIC were critical in developing my regulatory perspective and honing my risk management skills, particularly through the challenges of the financial crisis. That experience taught me the importance of collaboration and stability in high-stakes environments—insights that continue to inform my approach to risk and compliance today.
