Daniel Johnson began his compliance journey with MidFirst Bank in Oklahoma City, one of the largest, and most sought-after privately owned banks in the country. His prior experience in training was a natural complement to explaining laws and regulations in a simple manner.
Following his work in the development of an enterprise compliance training program, Daniel spent time as a risk manager developing a host of risk assessments in the consumer compliance space. Compliance was changing drastically following the fallout of mortgage crisis of 2008 and the emergence of a post-Dodd Frank Act landscape. This made him eager to cultivate his own path in fair and responsible banking. He believed that responsible and ethical financial service practices was the future of regulatory expectations and later held two director-level positions at CFPB regulated banks. Following his career in the banking industry, Daniel decided to specialize further in the fair lending space across all financial institutions from banks, mortgage companies, and non-bank lenders by becoming a director for a leading compliance consulting firm. Daniel served as Director of Fair Lending for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, commonly known as Freddie Mac, a publicly traded, government-sponsored enterprise, headquartered in Tysons Corner, Virginia.
Daniel now serves as Managing Director for Treliant LLC, headquartered in Washington D.C. Treliant is a global consulting firm that specializes in compliance consulting solutions for financial institutions. Daniel has utilized this new role to build relationships with various regulatory agencies and financial institutions across the United States.
