Extra episode: Live from the Leaders in Finance Risk Event 2025 with Owen Strijland, Carina Kozole, and Daniël Smidts.
Show notes
“Life is about risk, so we will always have risk. You can’t ski without learning how to fall in the snow, take off your skis, get back on your feet, and put your skis back on. You need to practise that, not only through education, but by doing.”
That is one of the takeaways from the first ever Leaders in Finance Risk Event. Live from Amsterdam, host Kees de Wit reflects with three speakers from the event on the key topics and, more importantly, the main lessons of the day.
Joining Kees de Wit are Owen Strijland, Managing Director at Protiviti; Carina Kozole, CRO at ING NL; and Daniël Smidts, Managing Director at Corporater.
Together, they discuss the questions of the day: how has the risk landscape changed? What has changed in the decision making of a risk manager? And what can technology really bring into the risk function: is it a risk, or can it help?
With real examples, such as what happens to your colleagues during a power outage in Spain, and the unexpected side effects of running electricity on diesel, they share insights that lead to one final question: who, or what, is a risk manager today?
