Episode 3: with Jo De Serrano from RedR UK

This podcast is for CEOs, Board Members, Risk and Compliance Officers, Security Advisors, and anyone interested in improving operations, reducing risk, keeping staff safe, and increasing profitability.  In these interviews we will speak with renowned international experts on how they have addressed uncertainty and how they have created systematic and structured risk treatment processes in some of the most challenging environments in the world.  Joined by our excellent guests, I am excited to share with you some great secrets on how to help your organization thrive in areas with high risk.

Today we are joined by Jo de Serrano.
