Wilson Lynde is an Advisor at Spinnaker Consulting Group. His expertise lies in compliance testing, compliance training management, and credit reporting. He utilizes his shared experience in both the Operations and Compliance spaces to quickly identify issues and inefficiencies, deliver realistic solutions, and break it all down into an easy-to-understand package. If you need someone to cut through to the core of your problem, he is the one to call.
Wilson joins the team with deep expertise in compliance testing, compliance training administration, and credit reporting. Additionally, he provides significant value in the realms of complaint handling, issue management, risk assessments, reporting, and more. These skills lie on top of crucial hands-on operational experience in the First Line of Defense - an aspect of his career that keeps him grounded in pragmatic solutions with long-lasting endorsement from all stakeholders. Having cut his teeth at a FinTech startup with a dynamic environment and a scrappy Compliance team, Wilson brings to Spinnaker an additional wide range of surface-level knowledge regarding a plethora of compliance-related and operations-related subject matters unique to startups.
Wilson holds an Advanced FCRA Certification from the Public Background Screening Association. He has multiple years of experience working with Metro2 credit reporting data from both operational and compliance perspectives. He is also extremely well-versed in Learning Management System administration after maintaining sole responsibility for enterprise-wide training completion and system revamps. He has been at the forefront of multiple large-scale, multi-department credit reporting and compliance training projects, including the establishment of brand-new processes as well as maintenance of business operation during massive changes to core business systems. Wilson was also fast-tracked from his very first corporate position of a Customer Service Agent to a role on a Compliance team within only two years - putting him ahead of the curve and enabling him to bring a fresh perspective to a role that is traditionally filled later in one’s career.
Wilson graduated from the Dean’s List at Virginia Commonwealth University with a degree in Marketing and a Concentration in Product & Brand Management. During his time there, he served as a founding class member and first Risk Management Chair during the chartering of a university-new colony of the Sigma Chi fraternity. He grew up in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, but has called Richmond his home for over 15 years. In his free time, he enjoys live music, weightlifting, volunteering, the James River, video games, and movies - all with friends.
