Kim Olson was only announced as the appointee to the role at parent company SVB Financial Group on Jan. 4. She joined with an established track record of 30 years of experience in financial services, including her previous time as Americas risk chief for Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation.
Instead, focus on the actions of the bank preceding Olson’s hiring—specifically, the gap that existed in the role. Laura Izurieta, SVB’s former chief risk officer, left the bank in October, according to a proxy filing earlier this month. She ceased serving as risk chief in April 2022.

Having worked for Compliance Week for three years, I’ve found it remarkable how compliance professionals can be so consistently upbeat about their plight. An often refrain in compliance circles is “be comfortable with being uncomfortable.” As difficult as the job can be, that clearly doesn’t mean it can’t be fun.
