E. Marshall Gentry appointed to CFO position at FDIC

On Monday, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Board of Directors approved the appointment of E. Marshall Gentry to the position of chief financial officer.

Gentry will also serve as deputy to the chairman. He succeeds Bret D. Edwards, who retired earlier this year.

“Marshall brings an exceptional breadth of experience and knowledge in the areas of financial and risk management to the role of CFO, having led the FDIC’s enterprise risk management and internal controls programs,” FDIC Chairman Martin J. Gruenberg said. “His particular skill and background as an auditor, conducting reviews on large bank failures, will benefit the agency’s ongoing work to maintain sound financial management and accounting systems. I look forward to continue working with him as a member of our senior management team.”

Since April 2018, Gentry has served as the FDIC’s Chief Risk Officer and the director of the Office of Rick Management and Internal Controls (ORMIC). Prior to joining the ORMIC, Gentry worked at the FDIC’s Office of Inspector General, most recently as the Assistant Inspector General for Program Audits and Evaluations, managing a portfolio of audit and evaluation assignments covering all aspects of the agency.

Gentry graduated from Berry College in Rome, Georgia and is a Certified Public Accountant. He began his professional career in 1987 as an evaluator with the GAO in Atlanta.
