Based in Washington, DC, Tsyrennikov brings extensive expertise in financial markets, regulation, and analytics, as well as a proven track record of developing business-decision and risk-management systems.
He spent the last 10 years at IBM Promontory, a risk management and compliance consulting firm, where he was head of quantitative services and analytics. In the role, Tsyrennikov led a team advising large banks on Basel III reforms, stress testing, model risk, and AI use cases.
Before that, he spent a year as resident scholar at the IMF and seven years at Cornell University, where he was an assistant professor of economics.
Tsyrennikov has a PhD in economics from New York University, a master’s degree in economics from the Kyiv School of Economics, and a master’s degree in information systems management from the National University of Lviv in Ukraine.
“I am pleased to welcome Viktor to the CRA team,” said Paul Maleh, president and CEO. “He is an accomplished PhD economist and trusted advisor to financial institutions, with extensive experience in solving complex risk management and addressing regulatory challenges.”
