Lynn Tarantino

I am a seasoned compliance and risk management leader with 20+ years' experience in residential and commercial lending and servicing and retail banking. My professional journey has been dedicated to guiding bank leadership in upholding strong regulatory compliance, managing and mitigating risk to safeguard both institutional assets and reputations, and promoting a culture anchored in ethics and integrity. I am passionate about ensuring teams remain vigilant and responsive to threats and regulatory changes. My ongoing commitment to continuous improvement is reflected in my dedication to training and education, empowering teams with knowledge and fostering a proactive mindset toward evolving expectations.

Collaboration is central to my approach. I believe in engaging stakeholders at all levels, ensuring open communication, resource access, and teamwork across functions. By leveraging technology and data analytics, I have successfully transformed compliance and risk processes, driving efficiency and enabling the early identification of emerging risks. My overarching purpose is to partner with leadership to build and maintain a secure, resilient, and transparent banking environment that inspires trust and minimizes risk, while prioritizing accountability and a pursuit of continous improvement.

For the past 12 years, I have played a pivotal role in helping an organization expand and evolve its compliance and risk management framework to meet the demands of significant growth and complexity. This included leading the transition to OCC Large Bank supervision and achieving compliance with Heightened Standards. My work with a mortgage subservicer allowed me to collaborate closely with compliance and risk teams at large, mid-sized, and community banks, as well as credit unions.

Additionally, I served as Executive Administrator for CU Servnet, a credit union service organization. Our mission was to unite credit union partners, foster idea-sharing, and design, develop, and implement innovative product initiatives tailored for credit unions, enhancing their capacity to serve members effectively.

Currently, I am seeking new opportunities that will allow me to leverage my compliance, risk management, and problem-solving expertise, along with my strong leadership and collaborative skills. My goal is to help financial institutions build and transform their compliance and risk functions by integrating technology-driven solutions, positioning them to navigate complex regulatory environments with confidence, efficiency, and strategic foresight.
