Overland Park, Kansas — Consulting and software firm Rochdale announces the hiring of its new Vendor Risk Manager, Roberta Rodgers, following a year of rapid growth in the credit union industry.
Rodgers brings more than 16 years of vendor risk management experience to Rochdale’s team of strategic leaders. She most recently served in a VP position at a large credit union in Alabama, and her experience in enterprise risk, vendor and contract management — as well as legal, regulatory compliance, and banking — are all areas of expertise she brings to her new role.
“In addition to my expertise in vendor management, I also closely understand the legal and compliance requirements for managing third-party risk,” Rodgers said. “I’m excited for this opportunity to expand Rochdale’s vendor risk management and consulting services.”
Rodgers’ addition follows months of Rochdale’s strategic repositioning within the credit union industry. Since the beginning of 2021, the risk-intelligent software company has rebranded, launched a new website, tapped an entirely new team of skilled developers, hired a Chief Revenue Officer, and rolled out its new Operational Risk Management (ORM) module, the newest feature of its industry-leading risk management platform apogee iQ.
The strategic addition of new talent ultimately strengthens Rochdale’s operations and the continued expansion of its risk-intelligent software.
“Roberta brings a high level of expertise in enterprise risk management and compliance to her role as Vendor Risk Manager, which will be a crucial asset to our team as Rochdale continues its rapid growth trajectory in the industry,” said Rochdale CEO Tony Ferris. “Roberta’s addition to our team also allows us to elevate our processes and operations, and to continue to effectively protect our vendors and clients from risk.”
Rochdale Paragon Group, LLC was founded in 2016 from a merger between The Rochdale Group and The Paragon Group. Rochdale’s expertise in risk management (ERM, ORM, VM, risk appetite, risk governance), strategy solutions and board governance provides the industry with an experienced and trusted partner on the full spectrum of risk management, strategy and governance.
