May 13, 2019 TO: Chief Risk Officer Committee RE: Rhonda K.R. Cook of SEI Appointed New Chair of ICI's Chief Risk Officer Committee

 

I am pleased to announce that Rhonda K.R. Cook, the Chief Risk Officer of SEI Investment Managements Corporation, has agreed to serve as the new Chair of the ICI’s Chief Risk Officer Committee. A long-time member of the Committee, Rhonda has extensive industry experience and she has spoken at several Institute conferences over the years. While she currently serves as SEI’s Chief Risk Officer, prior to that role she was the firm’s Director of Third-Party Risk Management. She has the Shared Assessments’ Certified Third Party Risk Professional (CTPRP) designation and the Compliance Education Institute’s Certified Regulatory Vendor Program Manager (CRVPM) designation. Prior to joining SEI’s Enterprise Risk Management team, she lived and worked in India (April 2011 to September 2014), where she managed SEI’s strategic vendor relationships, formalized an offshore control environment, and furthered SEI’s business interests in the region. 

In terms of her educational background, Rhonda completed her undergraduate studies at the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1988. She also obtained an MBA with a dual concentration in International Management and Innovation Entrepreneurship from Northeastern University in 2011. 

Rhonda’s term as Chair of the CRO Committee began on May 8th when the term of the previous Chair, Joe Carrier, CRO of Legg Mason, ended. Joe had served as the Chair of the Committee since 2010. Under his leadership, the Committee became a very valuable resource to the Chief Risk Offices of the Institute’s members. The Institute is very grateful to Joe for his leadership and his role in growing and enhancing the value of the Committee to members.
