Risk

The recent economic crisis has forced financial institutions to take a critical look at how they manage risk. With a heightened focus on Enterprise Risk Management, it is now a regular topic of discussion for Boards and Management committees and no longer seen purely as a defensive weapon. It is now also a compelling strategic tool. Given the spike in demand for talent and its relative scarcity, Hanover Search Actuarial & Risk is in a strong position to deliver using our established and comprehensive networks.

Our dedicated Risk practice comprises of consultants who have worked within the industry and we pride ourselves on having deep subject matter knowledge and domain expertise. Whilst working at the strategic and advisory level we provide research-led search and succession planning for engagements across the Risk arena.   

With over 25 years combined insurance experience, plus embedded relationships at the C-level, we conclude that as firms become more complex their risk profiles remain in flux. The discerning CRO recognises a threat but is able to anticipate through “future proofing” and transform the constraint into an opportunity. With the emergence of Enterprise Risk oversight, coupled with the three lines of defence, the modern CRO has evolved and become an essential part of the board.
