Dallas, TX (January 20, 2026) |

ALM First recently welcomed industry-veteran and supervision expert Dale Klein to its team as Senior Director, CPST Policy & Regulation. Prior to joining the firm, Klein served as Acting Director & Senior Capital Markets Specialist, Capital Markets Division for the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).

“We’re delighted to welcome Dale to ALM First,” says Alec Hollis, CFA and Principal of ALM First. “As a former NCUA leader, he brings an extensive level of in-depth technical expertise and policy acumen to his new role and will enable the team to deliver even more value to our clients, guiding institutions and delivering clear, actionable insights.”

In addition to his 14 plus years of experience serving in various roles at the NCUA, Klein spent a dozen years working for the Federal Reserve System as both a lead examiner and senior policy & financial analyst. Throughout his career, Klein has led national initiatives on interest rate and liquidity risk, and designed enterprise-level stress testing frameworks for institutions with assets exceeding $10 billion.

In his new role, Klein will serve as a senior advisor to ALM First clients and internal teams, shaping the firm’s capital planning and stress testing (CPST) and capital markets advisory offerings, with a focus on interest rate and liquidity risk, and supporting the continued evolution of its analytical tools.
