Verdantix Launches Vantage Risk Council To Advance Organizational Resilience And Promote Collaboration Amongst Global Industry Leaders

Verdantix, the independent research firm, has announced the launch of its Vantage Risk Council, the third in its series of Vantage Councils. This Council brings together global leaders from diverse sectors, fostering cross-industry collaboration and the exchange of expertise. Aimed at developing and promoting best practices in the application of digital technology within business functions, the Council addresses the growing need for deeper collaboration between technology vendors and industry. The launch is a timely response to developments in the fast-evolving risk landscape, and will provide an essential platform for leaders to strengthen organizational resilience, expand collaboration and tap into new technologies and external expertise.

The Risk Council will also offer a unique environment for members to guide Verdantix research, which will benefit the 1,350+ users of the company’s Vantage platform, which represent hundreds of the world’s largest and most innovative businesses. By sharing strategies, best practices, technology use-cases and feedback on software vendors exclusively under Chatham House Rules, the councillors will help shape the way these businesses seek to make more informed decisions, accelerating innovation and adoption and improving outcomes for all.

The 11 initial members of the Vantage Risk Council are:

• Alessandro Catelli, Global Sustainability & Risk Director, Arcese
• Hakki Sarp, Global Governance, Risk & Compliance Coordinator, Delivery Hero
• James Green, Senior Vice President, Climate Risk – Operational Risk Management, International Financial Institution
• Lindsay Healey, Director, Enterprise Risk Management, Devoted Health
• Lori Kaczynski, SVP, Chief Audit, Risk & Compliance Officer, Graphic Packaging International
• Mark Glover, Head of Audit & Risk, Compass Group
• Patrick Grainey, Director, Global Supply Chain Risk & Resiliency, Vertiv
• Paul De Luca, Global Head of Cyber Risk & Resilience, Hewlett Packard Enterprise
• Paul Haley, Director Group Security & Resilience, Prudential
• Simon Turner, Head of Security Governance & Compliance, BT Group
• Timothy Davis, Head of Loss Mitigation & Risk Operations, TikTok

Building on the success of the Vantage Safety and Sustainability Councils, the Vantage Risk Council will convene leaders in operational risk, audit, cybersecurity and environmental risk. Participants will meet quarterly for Verdantix-led roundtables that will discuss emerging risks, complex challenges, best practices and opportunities, while accessing exclusive resources and generating networking opportunities.

"The Vantage Risk Council will allow us to improve our research solutions and support our drive to deliver detailed, granular information, while addressing the broader, interconnected challenges faced by organizations today," said David Metcalfe, CEO at Verdantix. "Finding the solutions to the biggest and most difficult challenges is what motivates us to investigate more deeply than other firms, and the Councils help us to provide detail that is more applicable to the varied needs of our clients and subscribers.”

Later this year, the Vantage Councils initiative will expand with the launch of an Industrial Asset Management Council and a Real Estate and Built Environment Council. These additions reflect a growing commitment to fostering deeper collaboration with software vendors, to accelerate innovation and adoption, and ultimately drive better outcomes for both buyers and suppliers.
