Travillian NEXT proudly hosts an emerging leader, South State Bank’s Director of Strategic Risk Modeling, Steven Hunter. By way of their massive merger with CenterState Bank earlier this year, Steven is at the epicenter of the now $38 billion institution’s stress testing framework.
Conversation topics include Steven’s unique career trajectory, as well as his thoughts on how smaller or budget-constrained banks can implement stress testing using public resources. The two also discuss best practices around hiring for aptitude over skill, and the company’s well-known culture of empowerment, which has been crucial in keeping their remote workforces focused and independent.
