Adrian Docherty leads the Bank Advisory team at BNP Paribas, which provides banks with technical sector expertise and help on strategic financial management issues. In practice, this means advising on capital efficiency, risk management, regulatory developments (notably Basel IV), funding/liquidity strategies, credit portfolio management, risk transfer and value management. Adrian has been advising financial institutions for 33 years. After a decade as a strategy consultant with Booz Allen Hamilton, Adrian was hired by one of his clients, Barclays, to help run the rapidly growing investment banking business line. Adrian spent three years as COO of Investment Banking, before moving to run the balance sheet advisory team in Barclays Capital’s Financial Institutions Group. He then, 19 years ago, joined BNP Paribas to set up Bank Advisory. Adrian has a Master’s from Cambridge University. His book “Better Banking: Understanding and Addressing the Failures in Risk Management, Governance and Regulation” was published by Wiley in 2014.
