Flip the Risk Conversation Forward—Lessons from the Front Lines of Resilience

Integrated Risk ManagementIntegrated Risk Thinking
Written By Ori Wellington

As operational complexity increases and business environments shift at a faster pace, organizations are under growing pressure to evolve their approach to risk. Risk management can no longer be reactive, control-focused, or functionally siloed. Instead, it must become proactive, performance-aligned, and strategically embedded. That was the focus of the breakout session "Holding the Line: Building Resilient Risk Programs in the Modern Era," presented at the 2025 Mitratech Interact Conference in Dallas.

The session was moderated by Ryan Fox, Director of GRC Solutions at Mitratech. It featured John A. Wheeler, CEO of Wheelhouse Advisors, and Andrea Elliott, Chief Compliance Officer at ACI Worldwide. The audience included legal, risk, and compliance leaders and practitioners seeking practical strategies to strengthen program maturity and build enterprise resilience.
