Michael Hollerich is a managing director in BRG’s Financial Institution Advisory practice based in Dallas.

He is a seasoned executive with over thirty years of domestic and international experience in financial services and consulting. He brings a wealth of expertise in areas such as regulatory affairs, corporate governance, anti-money laundering, fraud detection, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and banking-as-a-service (BaaS). He has a strong understanding of small, medium, and large institutions across various markets and throughout North America, Europe, and Asia.

Before joining BRG, Mr. Hollerich operated a private consulting firm, Hollerich Consulting, LLC, which he founded in 2018. He has worked in advisory and executive roles with large international banking organizations and small- to mid-sized regional banks, non-depositories, and fintechs. He served as chief compliance officer for two publicly traded financial services firms (one a top ten US mortgage servicer) with locations across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and the US Virgin Islands.

Throughout his career, Mr. Hollerich has spearheaded initiatives that have resolved some of the largest regulatory actions taken against the financial services industry, resulting in the avoidance of potential billion-dollar fines while implementing effective remediation and oversight programs. He has also played leadership roles in large-scale M&A and was instrumental to the merger of two large, non-depository mortgage servicers, establishing regulatory relationships and corporate governance strategies that facilitated transaction approvals from over thirty state and federal banking commissioners.
