Marti Tirinnanzi

Financial Standards is a corporate finance and regulatory advisory company specializing in risk management, and in particular risk mitigation strategies that utilize derivatives contracts.  As founder and chief executive, Tirinnanzi has held a number of important leadership and operational roles: from being responsible for designing and implementing a derivatives trading back office and deal capture program in derivatives operations, to leadership as regulator to the world’s largest major swap participants – Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Tirinnanzi had a role in the development of Dodd Frank legislation by providing important background information to Congressional staff on the importance of the derivatives markets in controlling risk and the need for confidence, efficiency and reliability. In her operational experience, Tirinnanzi directed the GSEs to evaluate market participants, specifically CCPs and FCMs with an eye towards adopting the central clearing model before CFTC and SEC regs became final.   In her work to initiate a new SEF, and her continued educational programs on futures, options and swaps, Tirinnanzi is a resource to market participants subject to CFTC regulations in the US and abroad, as well as regulatory staff of the CFTC and NFA, making her perfectly placed to offer advice and speak on US regulatory reform and cross border compliance.
