Tony Blunden

Tony has worked in the City of London for over 30 years primarily within risk management and related areas in financial services organisations. Prior to Chase Cooper, he spent four years as Director of Operational Risk within the Financial Services Risk Management Practice at Ernst & Young. Tony’s area of focus is the identification and development of clients’ needs in operational risk management, MiFID compliance and conference speaking and writing articles.

Client engagements have included advising and guiding on risk frameworks and governance, risk and control assessments, key indicators, loss databases and their use, modelling of operational risk and risk reporting. As well as assisting many clients overcome the more difficult parts of the basics of operational risk, Tony has been deeply involved in state-of-the-art operational risk modelling and deriving business benefits from operational risk management.

On MiFID, Tony has monitored the growing confusion around the new regulation and strongly believes that a risk management approach will provide rapid and cost effective results.
