Business Continuity and Crisis Management Team

Here is a challenge, which may also test your unconscious bias.

If you had to appoint one person to manage your crisis management or business continuity strategy, who would you go with?

1. A former police forensic scientist who worked in INTERPOL’s Counter Terrorism and Emerging Threats Directorate, with commendations from the FBI and the US State Department.
2. A former Australian Army officer with Honours Degrees in Biomedical Science and Biochemistry who has conducted health support operations in Australia, PNG and Bougainville.
3. A senior risk and resilience specialist with ten years in the oil and gas industry in Canada and the Middle East, a Degree in Human Geography and Criminology and a Masters in Science, Security & Organisational Risk Management.
4.  A certified Business Continuity Practitioner with a decade in business resilience and crisis management in the telecommunication, insurance and finance sectors, including experience in South East Asia.
5.  A former senior Australian diplomat who has supported Australia’s crisis response to events in Iraq, Syria, Bangladesh and Nepal, including service in Australia’s Embassy in Afghanistan.
6. An MBA qualified banking and finance executive, with 11 years across Westpac and NAB, with deep networks in boards and executives across Australia’s largest listed and private companies.

It is such a tough decision to choose only one, right?

The good news is, RiskLogic now has all these people on our national team, with six new appointments and promotions.

And if you pictured six highly qualified men, think again, because all these appointments are women.
Not only have they brought an extraordinary diversity of experience to the team, they also build on RiskLogic’s gender diversity and reinforce the value of having highly skilled women at the helm in crisis situations.

They provide our clients with an unparalleled depth of capability and ‘lived experience’ in business continuity and crisis, incident and emergency management.
