Hosted by Dominic Bowen, The International Risk Podcast is a weekly podcast for senior executives and board members, Chief Security Officers, Risk and Compliance Officers, and advisors in various risk-related fields. In this podcast series we speak with Risk and Compliance Directors from fortune 500 companies, from Chief Security Officers in war and conflict zones around the world, as well as security advisors for the United Nations, Red Cross, and large for-profit companies. Risk management must be an integral part of all organizational processes and inform decision making. In these interviews we speak with renowned international experts on how they have addressed uncertainty and risk assumptions, and how they have created systematic and structured processes in some of the most insecure countries in the world.
