G1: Chief Risk Officers Roundtable
With the global movement toward enterprise risk management (ERM), a growing number of
companies have created the senior-level position of chief risk officer (CRO). The CRO represents an exciting,
high-profile career possibility for actuaries within insurance companies and the broader financial
services industry. The CRO job description is evolving and varies quite extensively across companies and
industries.
This panel will describe why the position was created in their companies, what the role is, how it
has changed over time, and how they see the responsibilities changing in the future. The panelists will
also share the challenges faced in implementing ERM, "secrets of success," and advice for those considering
a career as a CRO.
