Risk Rewired — Why CROs Must Lead the Charge in the New Era of Digital-First Risk Management
For the first time in over a decade, not a single financial risk made it into the top 10 concerns for chief risk officers (CROs). Instead, cybersecurity (75%), operational resilience (38%), and geopolitical volatility (36%) dominate the agenda. These are not just new threats—they are structurally different, externally driven, and deeply interconnected. Managing them demands a new kind of leadership—one capable of navigating a risk matrix that is faster, flatter, and far more fragile than ever before.
Chief Risk Officers now stand at the intersection of technology, strategy, and trust. The question is no longer whether they have a seat at the table. It’s whether they’re prepared to lead the table—or risk becoming sidelined as the world moves ahead without them.
The Strategic Evolution of Chief Risk Officers: Catalyzing Integrated Risk Management
Recent insights from the Optimising Growth: The Evolving Role of the Chief Risk Officer report by Bayes Business School and the IRM Navigator™ Buyer Persona Guide by Wheelhouse Advisors underscore the pivotal transformation of Chief Risk Officers (CROs) as strategic enablers within Integrated Risk Management (IRM). These findings highlight the growing importance of IRM frameworks in addressing the complexities of modern risk landscapes and fostering sustainable growth.
