Norwin Estrada Joins Clarendon Partners as Director and Risk Management Practice Leader

Clarendon Partners is pleased to welcome Norwin Estrada as Director and Risk Management Practice Leader, bringing nearly two decades of experience helping financial institutions navigate complex risk and regulatory environments. 

Norwin joins Clarendon Partners from Ernst & Young (EY), where he served as a Managing Director in the Financial Services Risk Management practice. Throughout his career, he has led large-scale, interdisciplinary risk initiatives across banking and capital markets, with deep expertise in non-financial risk management, governance frameworks, risk appetite, risk reporting, and GRC implementation. 

His experience includes enterprise-wide risk capability assessments presented to Boards and regulators, control function design and implementation, and risk and control reviews across high-risk business units and end-to-end processes. Norwin is known for translating regulatory expectations into practical, scalable operating models that strengthen controls while supporting business performance. 

At Clarendon Partners, Norwin will lead the Risk Management practice, overseeing the delivery of risk management solutions and partnering with clients to strengthen risk governance, enhance operational resilience, and successfully execute risk and regulatory transformation initiatives. 

“I’m excited to join Clarendon Partners and build on the firm’s strong reputation for practical, execution-focused consulting,” said Norwin Estrada. “Risk management today isn’t just about compliance — it’s about enabling institutions to operate confidently, make informed decisions, and take the right risks in a rapidly changing environment.” 

“Norwin brings deep industry credibility, hands-on execution experience, and a clear understanding of how risk management must evolve to support today’s financial institutions,” said Michele Hoffman, Managing Director at Clarendon Partners. “We’re thrilled to welcome him as we continue to expand and strengthen our Risk Management practice.” 

Norwin’s addition reinforces Clarendon Partners’ commitment to helping clients translate risk and regulatory complexity into resilient, scalable operating models.
