Q1 2024 Edition StrategicRISK - Simon Levy and the RMIA
In the face of the litany of challenges and growing crises businesses must manage, education and knowledge exchange may be the risk manager’s most valuable weapons.
However, in a profession that is often characterised by small teams or even risk managers working in isolation, finding peers with whom you can share your ideas and best practices is not always easy. This is where risk management associations come in.
In Australia, which has seen stringent COVID restrictions and a hefty regulatory environment in recent years, the Risk Management Institute of Australasia (RMIA) is focused on meeting the risk manager’s need for education and for a community of like-minded professionals.
The association’s CEO and company secretary, Simon Levy, brings his over two decades of risk management experience to help deliver this learning to its risk managers. But, like so many in the risk industry, his education in risk and leadership began in a completely different professional environment.
