Jim Embersit has joined Ernst & Young as executive director in its advisory practice.

Hank Prybylski, the firm's financial services advisory leader, says: "His extensive regulatory experience will be invaluable for our clients as they adjust to the myriad of recent changes, including Dodd-Frank and Basel 3."

Embersit has over 25 years of bank supervisory experience, including 20 years spent at the Federal Reserve. He was most recently deputy associate director for credit, market, liquidity and operational risk policy in the division of banking supervision.
