About John Mingo
John Mingo is a Senior Advisor for the Promontory Financial Group in Washington, D.C. His specialty is Basel II, internal Economic Capital, and more broadly, the measurement, management, regulation, and supervision of risk at major financial institutions.
From 1999 to 2006, Mr. Mingo was founder and Managing Director of Mingo & Co., a consulting firm specializing in the measurement, management, and regulation of bank risk. He served as the senior advisor to the RMA Capital Working Group, a group consisting of the heads of Economic Capital at each of the major banking companies in the U.S. and Canada. The RMA Capital Working Group has produced over two dozen technical papers on the Basel II process and the internal risk measurement procedures pertaining to Basel II at major institutions. At Promontory, Mr. Mingo continues in his role advising the RMA Group as well as individual members of the Group.
During most of the 1990’s, Mr. Mingo was Senior Advisor, Division of Research & Statistics, Board of Governors, Federal Reserve System. His areas of responsibility included policy and research pertaining to bank capital standards, risk management of banks, and resolution of troubled institutions. He was co-chair of the System Task Force on Internal Credit Risk Models and a member of the System Task Force on Staff Competencies, Compensation, and Coordination. Mr. Mingo played a key role in the early recognition by Federal Reserve staff of the inefficiencies associated with the Basle capital standard, along with its ineffectiveness as a soundness measurement for large, complex banking organizations.
Mr. Mingo spent the 1980's as a consultant, first as Managing Director, BEI Golembe, Inc. and then as a founding principal of the Potomac Financial Group. During this time, Mr. Mingo’s principal area of activity was in the merger and acquisition arena, with special emphasis on capital planning and the financial restructuring of troubled banks and thrifts. He successfully managed several of the largest branch divestitures in history at that time.
During the 1970's, Mr. Mingo was actively involved in the setting of bank regulatory policy, first as Senior Research Division Officer at the Federal Reserve Board and next as Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Capital Markets Policy. He was instrumental in the passage of the 1980 legislation deregulating deposit interest ceilings. He appears often as a speaker on regulatory matters and his research has appeared in such journals as the Journal of Finance, the Journal of Banking and Finance, and the American Economic Review. Mr. Mingo received his Ph.D. in economics from Brown University and a B.A., also in economics, from Yale University.
