Christian Mittelberg is an internationally experienced Risk Management & Compliance Executive with significant experience in the financial industry. His critical but pragmatic risk thinking and guidance have changed how several multinational financial services and data organizations view risk management as a competitive advantage instead of a burden.

He designed a pro-active risk function covering the organization’s most critical risks of Enterprise Risk, Cyber & Technology Risk, Third Party Risk and Operational Resilience.

During his tenure at KCG Holdings, a high-frequency trading firm, he served as the Chief Risk Officer for the US broker-dealer covering not only non-financial risks but also financial risks associated with the broker-dealer (market, liquidity risk).
