Established a fully-functioning “traditional” risk management program including pre and post-loss initiatives, matured this program to an “advanced” risk management program incorporating Total Cost of Risk and allocation of costs; as well as implementing an Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program. This strategic program views risk across the organization, indexes risk and manages risk not just to prevent loss but to optimize risk-taking as a competitive advantage.
