"What the board thinks about risk is fundamental to transforming how an organization engages it," said Martinez. "Companies are increasingly looking to Qualified Risk Directors® with diverse backgrounds and expertise to provide insight and bring fresh thinking on risk in the boardroom. I am delighted to be part of this global initiative as a Regional Director and a member of the Stakeholder Supervisory Board, helping boards strategically integrate a practical and positive governance of risk and c-level executives to better engage in risk-taking, eventually ascending to important board roles," she continued.
