Sallie Mae has appointed Jeffrey Dale as the company's first chief risk officer. Dale will work with senior executives and other company stakeholders to build out the enterprise risk management function and framework for the company and its Sallie Mae Bank subsidiary.

Earlier this year, Sallie Mae, formally SLM Corporation, completed its strategic separation and is now a standalone consumer banking business focused on helping families save, plan and pay responsibly for college.

Dale arrives from Citigroup, where he most recently served as the North American group risk director responsible for consumer credit in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada. In this role, he engaged broadly with various business units, other control areas, and a variety of internal and external constituents, including regulators and auditors.
