Omgeo Appoints Risk Management and Compliance Director

Omgeo, post-trade services supplier, has named Jeannie Shanahan as managing director of governance, risk management and compliance (GRC).

Shanahan will lead Omgeo’s legal and regulatory compliance initiatives to ensure all Omgeo services promote compliance with anti-money laundering/OFAC mandates, insider trading, records retention and anti-bribery/corruption laws and regulation. She will additionally drive the organization’s SSAE 16 compliance through control testing and reporting.

“We welcome Jeannie to our team at a critical time in the evolution of the markets, as regulation increasingly affects risk management and compliance,” said Marianne Brown, president and CEO at Omgeo. “Her leadership and experience in this area will be integral to Omgeo’s ongoing commitment to providing the highest levels of service availability and information security to our clients while maintaining a comprehensive legal and regulatory compliance infrastructure.”

Shanahan most recently served as a credit risk director with State Street Global Advisors, where she developed and executed global credit risk programs. Prior to State Street Global Advisors, Ms. Shanahan held senior management positions at Fidelity Investments and Bank of Boston.
