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.

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.

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.
