Bio
Adjunct Professor Justin Bezis has extensive leadership experience at the intersection of finance, risk, and analytics. In banking, his roles have included leading the financial risk management function and developing a range of credit risk, market risk, and liquidity risk models to help optimize risk-adjusted return. He also served as the head of capital stress testing where he implemented and led the enterprise-wide stress testing process in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Act (DFAST). In addition, he has worked for a major insurer where his responsibilities focused on investment risk management and capital management.
A major theme of his research and teaching is the value of risk analysis and related analytical methods to provide deeper insight into law and public policy. For example, the core principles of financial risk management provide attorneys with a more advanced understanding of the law of corporate finance and thereby enable them to discern and articulate the legal and business implications of different types of securities and complex financial transactions.
Professor Bezis has expertise in the regulation of financial institutions, corporate finance, quantitative analytics, and risk governance.
Professor Bezis is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charterholder and holds degrees from UCLA, the University of California-Hastings College of the Law, and the University of Chicago.
