McCraley
Advisory for complex institutions operating under pressure, transformation, and regulatory scrutiny. Four decades of Tier-1 experience applied to the decisions that matter most.
Where institutional judgment is most useful.
Six disciplines drawn from four decades inside Tier-1 institutions — applied selectively, on terms that respect the seniority of the audience and the gravity of the work.
Operational Resilience
BC/DR program design, audit, and remediation grounded in real disruption experience.
AI Governance
Pressure-testing AI-supported analysis and workflows in regulated environments.
Regulatory Readiness
OCC, SAMA, DORA, ISO 22301, ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF — frameworks that hold under examiner scrutiny.
Enterprise Risk & Recovery
Identification of systemic vulnerabilities not surfaced by conventional risk inventories.
Technology Transformation Oversight
Multi-year programs at scale — infrastructure refresh, portfolio governance, platform migrations.
Decision Integrity
A structured advisory method for pressure-testing consequential decisions before commitment.
Four decades inside Tier-1 institutions.
Engagements have spanned investment banking, asset management, insurance, custody, and global infrastructure — at SVP and VP level, through periods of crisis, consolidation, and transformation.
The work most often required today.
The demand pattern across recent engagements is consistent: governance under regulatory pressure, modernization of resilience programs, and disciplined decision-making in conditions where evidence is incomplete.
Engagements are selective and project-based.
Direct correspondence is preferred. Replies typically within two business days.
