Cliff Rossi, a finance professor in the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business and one of the presenters in the Dec. 1-2 conference on financial reform spearheaded by the new federal Office of Financial Research (OFR), is available to speak about the issues surrounding gathering.
The event, "Macroprudential Toolkit: Measurement and Analysis" is taking place Thursday and Friday, Dec. 1-2 at the Hyatt on Capitol Hill.
It's an early product of the OFR and Financial Stability Oversight Council - both created by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
"The OFR is a new agency starting to flex its muscle by identifying issues and analytical approaches for assessing and mitigating threats to the financial markets," Rossi said. "It's especially timely to the breaking developments surrounding the debt crisis in Europe."
Rossi's title is executive-in-residence and Tyson Teaching Fellow.
His most recent position was Managing Director and Chief Risk Officer for Citigroup's Consumer Lending Group. While there he was intimately involved in Citi's TARP and stress test activities. He also served as Chief Credit Officer at Washington Mutual (WaMu) and as Managing Director and Chief Risk Officer at Countrywide Bank. Previous to these assignments, Rossi held senior risk management positions at Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
