Bank of England Governor Bailey & Former Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Quarles to Discuss 'Supervisors on Supervision'
WASHINGTON, VA, UNITED STATES, July 31, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- Starling today announced the pending launch of a new Deeper Dive report, 'Supervisors on Supervision,' following on the heels of a global stocktake exercise that has convened dozens of senior-most financial sector supervisors worldwide. The study collects emerging views regarding reform efforts aimed at culture risk governance and supervision.
Building on calls-to-action sounded in its acclaimed Compendium series, on Monday 22 September Starling will release a Public Exposure Draft of the new report at an event hosted by the Forum on Financial Supervision, at the London School of Economics' Systemic Risk Centre.
Andrea Enria, former Chair of the Supervisory Board of the European Central Bank, and a founder of the Forum on Financial Supervision, will lead the event. Starling CEO Stephen Scott will present the report's core findings, and Clay Lowery of the Institute of International Finance, will lead a panel discussion to involve senior industry figures who will explore the report's key themes.
Randal K. Quarles, former US Federal Reserve Board Vice Chair for Supervision and past Chair of the Financial Stability Board, is chairing the Starling Insights stocktake effort and subsequent report production. To close out the evening, he will lead a fireside chat with Bank of England Governor and current FSB Chair Andrew Bailey, to explore the Starling report's findings and implications.
Since the Global Financial Crisis, prudential and conduct regulators alike have identified organizational culture as a root-cause of misconduct scandals and the recurrent failure of risk governance systems. Post-mortem studies of the 2023 banking sector turmoil have consistently concluded that supervisory culture itself contributed to lapses in the oversight of such risks, and to the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and the near-collapse of Credit Suisse.
And yet despite growing awareness of culture as a matter of supervisory, policy, and political concern, there has been no concerted global effort to define terms, agree upon a standard framework, or to identify metrics by which to gauge the efficacy of culture risk governance and supervision.
'I'm keenly aware that the most important aspect of a high-performing firm is its culture, and that building and maintaining a strong culture focused on making a fair long-term profit is probably the single most important task of a financial firm's leadership,' Quarles offered in remarks appearing in Starling's 2023 Compendium.
'We need a supervisory culture that is less focused on administration and more focused on key risks that can be measured and ameliorated — which again puts a premium on seeking to find ways to measure and monitor key cultural risks,' Quarles added. 'The more work we can do on identifying specific markers of culture, the more we can also make progress in developing ways to measure advancement in those markers, which is fundamental to making culture a subject of supervisory review,' Quarles said, pointing directly to the purpose of the Starling stocktake effort.
'Our 2025 Compendium highlighted a clear and urgent need to modernize culture risk governance and supervision,' said Stephen Scott, Starling's Founder and CEO. 'Contributors argue that this is central to maintaining the safety and soundness of institutions, to the promotion of economic growth and competitiveness, and to the restoration of supervisory legitimacy, which has suffered since the 2023 banking sector turmoil,' he added. 'We are honored to facilitate this crucial work, which brings together an unparalleled group of global leaders to establish a common baseline for what has come before and what areas are ripe for future development,' Scott said.
The 'Supervisors on Supervision' report enjoys support from chapter co-chairs, including: Wayne Byres, former Chair of the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority; Elizabeth McCaul, a former Member of the Supervisory Board of the European Central Bank; Carolyn Rogers, Senior Deputy Governor of the Bank of Canada; and Fernando Restoy, Chair of the Financial Stability Institute.
The report's release as a Public Exposure Draft is intended to solicit broad feedback from industry stakeholders, which will inform a Final Report to be released in early 2026. Registration for the London launch event is opening soon, and space is limited. Those with interest in attending the event should contact us at [email protected]. Media and others seeking information about the Supervisors on Supervision stocktake exercise may reach us at [email protected].

Canadian trade minister sees ‘great deal of common ground' with US
Canadian Minister for U.S.-Canada Trade Dominic LeBlanc expressed optimism on Sunday about the prospects of a trade deal between the two countries — even as President Trump announced he would impose 35 percent tariffs on goods from the neighboring country. 'We were obviously, obviously disappointed by that decision. We believe there's a great deal of common ground between the United States and Canada in terms of building two strong economies that work well together,' LeBlanc said in an interview on CBS News's 'Face the Nation.' LeBlanc spent last week in Washington, D.C. trying to hammer out a trade deal. He left without a resolution, after Trump announced new tariffs on Canadian goods not covered by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement that Trump negotiated in his first term. But LeBlanc praised his counterparts, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, for their efforts, saying they 'engaged with us in constructive, cordial conversations, so we're prepared to stick around and do the work needed.' 'But we remain very optimistic,' he added. LeBlanc said he expects Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to speak with Trump in the coming days. 'I would expect the Prime Minister will have a conversation with the President over the next number of days. That's certainly my plan, again with Secretary Lutnick, recognizing that we think there is an option of striking a deal that will bring down some of these tariffs, provide greater certainty to investment,' he said in the interview. LeBlanc noted that Canada passed a similar bill to the U.S. president's agenda-setting 'one big, beautiful bill,' which Trump signed into law one month ago. LeBlanc said the Canadian bill is projected to unlock up to $500 billion in investments in Canada, which would 'offer huge opportunities to American businesses as well.' 'So, we think there's a great deal- a great deal to work on together,' he added.

Google removes over 50 DEI groups from a list of groups it helps fund
In Brief Google has removed the names of more than 50 DEI groups from a list of companies to which it substantially contributes, according to a new watchdog report and as reported by CNBC. The list, Google's 2024 selection of groups and organizations backed by Google's U.S. Government Affairs and Public Policy team, no longer features the names of 58 DEI groups, including the Latino Leadership Alliance and the ACLU of Illinois. The discovery of the changes comes after the Trump administration said it would target companies openly showing support for DEI. CNBC points out it's unclear if Google is secretly still supporting these groups, however. This past year, Google said it would no longer have diversity hiring goals, after it removed language referring to 'underrepresented' groups from its grant website and removed mention of 'diversity' and 'equity' from its responsible AI webpage; it also removed mention of DEI from its 10k filings this year. The groups dropped from Google's funding list had mission statements using words like 'race' and 'women,' terms the Trump administration instructed federal agencies to dial back on using, the report said.

From Army diver to carbon capture: How a Pacific deployment sparked a veteran's climate mission

(Photo courtesy of LeRoy) [Editor's note: 'Tech Vets: Profiles in Leadership and Innovation,' is a GeekWire series showcasing U.S. military veterans leading companies within the Pacific Northwest tech industry. The series explores how military experience fosters leadership, resilience, and innovation in tech.] Tyler LeRoy is helping build Washington state's carbon capture ecosystem — a mission that began with an underwater deployment in the tropical Pacific that revealed his professional calling. As the program manager for the CleanTech Alliance's WECAN (Washington Energy: Carbon Advancement Network) innovation cluster, Leroy works to advance policy, education and market support for carbon removal and capture businesses. It's a role that combines his U.S. Army training and education with his passion for combating climate change. During an Army operation in Palau in 2020, LeRoy served as company commander, leading diving projects that included maintenance on navigation buoys and other submerged infrastructure offshore of the island nation. But before that work got started, COVID-19 policies required his team to isolate in individual hotel rooms for two weeks. It gave the West Point graduate plenty of time to reflect on his future and what mattered to him, including his concern over the devastating impacts of climate change on marine environments. 'The military really pounds in their values into you, and emphasizes living a values-driven life,' LeRoy said. For the Army that includes loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage, which he and his wife have developed into a framework for themselves and their three children. 'I try my best to live those [values],' LeRoy said, 'and be that person.' Tyler LeRoy prepares to take command of the 569th Army Engineer Dive Detachment. The ceremony was held underwater wearing historic Mark V diving gear weighing more than 80 pounds that was used by the military from 1916-1984. (Photo courtesy of LeRoy) He emerged from the mission with the goal of pursuing a career in clean energy and addressing the root causes of climate change. In June, LeRoy earned a master's degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Washington with a focus on renewable energy systems, which complements his earlier master's in engineering management from the Missouri University of Science and Technology. Since January, he has channeled his Army background and university education into his work at the Seattle-based CleanTech Alliance. The Pacific Northwest offers ideal conditions for carbon reduction efforts that leverage timber industry waste, marine chemistry, and mineralization in rock formations. Local entrepreneurs and researchers are developing these nature-based solutions alongside more engineered approaches for capturing carbon from industrial processes. LeRoy's engineering background prepped him for talking to smart people with expertise in wide-ranging areas, even if it's a specialty field he doesn't know well. His experience as an Army officer additionally gave him the confidence to lead groups of diverse individuals and interests, engage in challenging conversations and work toward solutions.

(Photo courtesy of LeRoy) Mel Clark, president and CEO of the nonprofit CleanTech Alliance, expected these qualities given LeRoy's military history. Clark, who also attended West Point before graduating from the UW, anticipated that LeRoy would be 'detail-oriented, organized, able to bring rapid decision-making to a fast-paced environment, a thoughtful manager, and willing to ask tough questions — all while keeping the mission top of mind.' With LeRoy's leadership, the WECAN innovation cluster is gaining momentum. Its advisory board has convened twice, and Leroy is eager to drive policies that will unlock carbon capture technologies and accelerate deployment. LeRoy credits his military experience for instilling an operations-focused mindset that supports his efforts to make a positive impact on people and the planet. 'I come from that perspective of, 'we said we're going to do this, and I don't care if we work through the weekend, it's getting done,'' he said. 'A lot of veterans just have that mentality.'
