IIRSM's Emerging Risk Leaders

EXECUTIVE SPONSOR

Most of us have been there - in a new leadership role, changing industries or taking on new responsibilities.

Helping emerging leaders (and our wider membership) tackle those daunting challenges with confidence and insight is what this network is all about, perfectly aligned to IIRSM's purpose.

The network aims to support the professional development of our future risk leaders and to foster social connections to help develop both professionally and personally.

 

"We help emerging leaders tackle challenges with confidence and insight.” Callum Irvine, Network Chair

 

We have established an international working group with a melting pot of experiences, industries and geographies, but all united by their appetite to lead on risk.

The working group is responsible for driving the network’s direction and agenda, including raising the profile of the network members, engaging and recruiting new members to join and contributing to the outputs and learning activities within the network. We’re all truly excited to see where they will head with IIRSM's full support.
