Rizkallah, Senior Manager, CRA Data Management at Capital One (News - Alert) in McLean, Va., as the 2018 honoree of its Alfredo deHaas Excellence in Analytics award. The award, which recognizes a banking professional who "excels in leveraging data to demonstrate his or her institution's commitment to regulatory compliance," was presented at the company's 22nd annual CRA & Fair Lending Colloquium at the Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Fla.

"Elias has a tremendous knack for using technological tools and digital approaches to effectively ad accurately manage our data to detect data integrity risks and issues, creatively resolve them and ensure that we maintain compliant data for regulatory reporting and internal analytical purposes," said Harvey Gantz, Jr., Senior Director, CRA Strategy & Program Management at Capital One. "Through his ability to manage and ensure the integrity of Capital One's data, Elias is a shining example of how this information can be used to provide critical insights into lending performance and to our business decisions for developing appropriate CRA performance strategies." "Alfredo deHaas consistently demonstrated a passion for fulfilling regulatory compliance obligations and providing his colleagues with thoughtful analysis of data to help them make better decisions.
