Justin McCarthy is a member of the advisory board at Intelligencia. He is based at University College Cork, Ireland. His work here is to help esta­blish a publicly funded center for Governance, Risk, and Compliance in the Financial Ser­vices industry. This work allows him to learn of many new risk initiatives, meet risk practi­tioners & thought leaders and to interact with staff and members from other Governance, Risk and Compliance bodies.

Justin has worked in risk roles in many firms, including Bank of America Merrill Lynch, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and the Irish Financial Regulator. This work has allowed him to see the changes in risk management since through and beyond the recent global finan­cial crisis. His work on the PRISM risk-based supervision framework with the Irish Regula­tor included exposure to banking, funds, and insurance risk practices as well as the quanti­tative work done on the related impact models. Recently he organized and chaired the 2012 GRC Summit Ireland which included speakers such as Bob Mark, Colin Lawrence from the FSA / BoE and William Mason, formerly of the Central Bank of Ireland.

He is the co-Regional Director of the Irish PRMIA Chapter and is the co-chair of the EMEA Regional Directors committee. He serves on several PRMIA working groups and sits on the PRMIA Education Committee and is the chair of the new C-Suite Committee.

He was on the planning committee of the PRMIA Global Event in New York in 2012 and helped facilitate the PRMIA case study at the recent FSA Risk Symposium in Cambridge, England. Justin has a BSc from University College Cork and an MBA from the Michael Smurfit Gra­duate School of Business at University College Dublin.
