Regions Bank has appointed Anna Brackin as chief compliance officer and Gary Walton as business unit chief risk officer for its consumer banking and wealth management divisions, according to a press release.

Prior to joining Regions, Brackin held roles in risk management, operations and wholesale banking at SunTrust Bank and Walton served as chief credit officer and executive risk officer at Union Bank.

At a bank, a risk officer is the head of the risk management team and designs the internal controls and processes that ensure compliance. If you're interested in pursuing this career, you need to gain a few years of experience working in a bank.
