George Darling

NEWBURYPORT, MA, June 13, 2022 –

It is with great sadness that the Darling Consulting Group family announces the passing of George Darling on June 11, 2022 at the age of 77.  He was a renowned educator and banking industry expert in balance sheet risk management.

George was the retired CEO of Darling Consulting Group, a widely known and well-respected banking industry consulting firm. He was also the founder of Darling & Associates, a pioneering bank balance sheet management software firm in the ‘80s.

Over more than four decades in the industry, George led Darling Consulting Group’s transformation from a niche bank software provider to the industry’s leading balance sheet and model risk management consulting firm, with 130 employees and clients in all 50 U.S. states.

The industry has lost a truly dedicated advocate and difference maker.

A memorial service will be announced at a later date.

###

Darling Consulting Group has been named one of the Top Places to Work in Massachusetts for the seventh year in a row in the annual employee-based survey project from The Boston Globe. The Top Places to Work 2020 issue was published online and in The Boston Globe Magazine on December 5, 2021.
