Life is risk. Understanding and managing those risks allows us to take informed decisions, grow our businesses, and go beyond the known. It is a basic ingredient of any business but also of purely living a life.

Assessing risk and modelling them is not always straightforward, require many assumptions and benefit from different view points and creative thinking. Thus, in my view, good risk management is a team sport and requires curious minds.

Ha! That is a good question! It is probably a decision around the important areas in life, like marrying my husband or deciding to have kids. Often big risks bring big rewards.

Managing risk is an integral part of doing business. Risk managers donโ€™t have to be the nay-sayers though. If done correctly, risk managers are enabling the business to operate the best way possible and support leaders in taking the right decisions.

I absolutely sign on to the Swiss Risk Associationโ€™s mission to strengthen Switzerlandโ€™s expertise in risk management and thus improve our attractiveness as a place of business. I was so lucky as to be able to build up the Cyber Resilience Chapter. Cyber risk is a passion of mine, and I believe that we are contributing to make organizations a bit more cyber resilient. That is very satisfying.
