The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) on Tuesday announced the appointment of Darrin Benhart as its first climate change risk officer.
Benhart, who joined the OCC in 1992, moves to this new position from his role in Large Bank Supervision, where he was a key member of the team overseeing Bank of America. Previously, he served as deputy comptroller for Supervision Risk Management. In that role, he was chair of the OCC’s National Risk Committee.
