Craig Woker, FTP and Profitability Practice Lead, QRM

Vikram Dasgupta, Treasurer at MidPen Bank, compares ALM and risk management across global giants and regional banks. He discusses fintech partnerships, liquidity pressures, and regulatory dynamics, offering grounded insights for navigating modern banking challenges.

Vikram Dasgupta’s journey from top-tier global institutions like Citi and JPMorgan to the regional Mid Penn Bank offers a unique lens into the operational, regulatory, and strategic differences between large and smaller banks.

He highlights how regional banks, while nimble and community-focused, face steeper challenges in resourcing risk management teams, pricing deposits competitively, and complying with evolving regulatory expectations. Vikram emphasizes that while large banks can afford to run detailed ALM stress tests and complex derivative strategies, regional players must find efficiency through smart hiring, lean processes, and targeted tech adoption.
