Acin, the pioneering operational risk data company, has announced that Serge De Coster has joined the company as Chief Client Officer, a new role for the organisation. Serge and his team will be responsible for the development of Acin's value proposition as well as generating and delivering insights derived from the Acin Network.

Serge is the latest senior figure to join Acin, whose solution has been widely adopted by the world's most significant financial institutions, three more of which have recently joined the data network.

Serge was recently the Head of Analytics and co-Head of CIB at Coalition Greenwich, a leading provider of Benchmarking Analytics to the financial service industry. Prior to Coalition Greenwich, Serge spent 4 years at Oliver Wyman, where he advised Global Corporate & Investment banks in Europe, US, and Asia. Serge has an educational background in Finance, Computer Science and is a qualified Actuary.

Serge brings deep expertise in Data Analytics, Benchmarking and Risk Management, acquired by advising most Global banks on Capital Management and Capital Optimisation.

Paul Ford, CEO at Acin, said: "We are delighted to join Serge to the Acin team as Chief Client Officer, his experience in risk analytics, benchmarking and capital are perfectly aligned with the Acin vision. Serge is also hugely experienced in working with top tier financial institutions at the highest level and in understanding their needs and delivering quantitative solutions to those needs."

Serge De Coster, Chief Client Officer at Acin, said: "Having worked extensively in consulting and benchmarking analytics, I was impressed with Acin's ability to build relationships with tier 1 institutions by leveraging both technology and expertise to deliver insights. Acin's approach to gather data, ensure like-for-like comparison and then extract valuable insights works well to support bank with their Operational Risk needs, but has wide possibilities beyond that."
