Welcome to our thought leadership series CRO Wisdom! Each episode of CRO Wisdom features a conversation with a highly experienced risk leader who shares their unique knowledge, experience and perspective on the future of risk and careers in this dynamic field. We see great value in sharing risk expertise beyond the board room and executive meetings with a broader audience. In fact, we believe passionately that peer-to-peer learning is the key to elevating any endeavor, but particularly in a field as dynamic as risk. With that in mind, we have created this series as a way to share knowledge with current risk practitioners and to inspire and educate the risk leaders of tomorrow. We hope you enjoy and gain much from the conversations. We’d love to hear from you. If you would like to nominate a future guest or have suggestions for risk topics, please let us know. Together we can make these conversations on the future of risk with today’s risk leaders even more valuable.
