"Nicola has tremendous experience in both areas, and brings to FICO clients a clear vision for how these disciplines need to be integrated with the retail bank."

"Capital is becoming a scarce commodity at banks, and risk managers now need to focus on capital acquisition and return more than they ever have," Pearce said.
