Brian Rubin is one of the foremost experts on change in the financial services industry, known for orchestrating and implementing the redesign of Bank of America’s foreclosure process during the great recession in 2008-2009.  This included rewriting over 3000 processes, holds and issues across more than 20 locations in 9 states.  He did this for the largest mortgage servicer in the country, during historically high inventory levels and in the midst of constantly changing regulations.  This allowed Bank of America to convert tens of millions of dollars in foreclosed real estate into revenue and satisfied regulatory requirements from more than 10 different government regulators.

He has strategized, designed and implemented full scale transformations of sales and service organizations, post-merger integrations, project management offices and engineered multiple regulatory responses at Bank of America, Wirbicki Law Group, Let’s Talk Counseling, and Bank of America Merchant Services.

Brian also holds certifications in all major change methodologies including the Project Management Professional (PMP), Six Sigma Master Black Belt, Scrum Product Owner and Customer Experience Champion designations.

This deep, real world change management expertise, allows Brian to help any board design and guide a full scale transformation, company turnaround, venture into new business categories or launch strategic growth initiatives.
