Specialist risk management and analytics consultancy, 4most, has strengthened its European team by appointing Richard Whiting as a dedicated Client Partner in Amsterdam. The move is part of 4most’s ongoing expansion across Europe, where it aims to support clients in key areas such as model development, risk management, and regulatory compliance.
With a workforce of over 300 experts, 4most is the UK’s largest independent risk analytics consultancy, working with several Tier One banking institutions across Europe. Whiting’s appointment signals the consultancy’s commitment to enhancing its presence in the region, providing expert consultancy services to major financial institutions.
Whiting joins 4most from PwC in the Netherlands, where he spent over 12 years advising financial institutions on risk functions, helping them navigate complex regulatory requirements and improve risk management frameworks. In his new role, he will lead a team of consultants, focusing on providing clients with specialist support in areas such as stress testing, data management, and model validation.
Richard Whiting said: “I’ve been very impressed by the deep technical expertise of the team at 4most, and I’m excited to work with one of the leading risk analytics consultancies. In today’s environment, it’s more important than ever for firms to unlock the power of data and models, while having robust risk management in place. Effective risk management not only safeguards against potential threats but also enables firms to seize opportunities with greater confidence.”
Whiting added that he is looking forward to using his experience to assist clients in tackling the challenges presented by the European markets.
