Card Briefs: Big Demand Seen for Card Risk Managers

Allard Associates, an executive recruiting firm, said it conducted a survey of the top 50 card issuers and found that risk managers are in great demand.

The informal, nine-question survey of human resources directors found that technical expertise and quality and amount of industry experience (83%), people skills (75%), and "leading edge" experience (67%), are most important to issuers.

Human resource directors told Allard there is an increased need for risk managers because of explosive credit card growth, and a subsequent increase in delinquencies.
