For his part, Donohoe previously was the managing director of global head of product control at Credit Suisse, where he built product control process globally, created organizational structure and redesigned systems. “I am excited to be joining such a talented and dedicated team of professionals who recognize the importance of risk management as a core capability,” Donohoe said.
