What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
Again, I love working with people to solve problems. This is something you do daily in risk management. Ideally, it's proactive, not always reactive.
Risk management exists to identify and mitigate risks, ensuring nothing goes wrong. I find it very interesting when people bring me challenging problems; I enjoy working with them to find the best solution.
Risk management is also very versatile. You build a broad skillset applicable across various industries. For example, being a risk manager in tech doesn't prevent you from being one in banking or oil and gas.
These skills are transferable and their need is only growing. With increasingly complex privacy regulations and concerns around artificial intelligence, risk management will remain relevant for decades to come. I don't believe a computer can handle all of risk management, as there's a significant human element involved.
