Risk management is about the people you engage with, the questions you ask, the lessons learned along the way. Risk Management success shouldn’t be measured by a final document produced, but by the evolving knowledge and resilience built along the way.”​His impressive career has spanned a multitude of international industries, including project and event management, TV and film, aviation, education, sport & recreation, healthcare, and defence.
