ERM Core Team

The ERM Core Team is a cross‑functional group of professionals and subject‑matter experts from units that focus on risk. We serve as facilitators and coordinators for the ERM process: helping to identify and prioritize enterprise risks, translate risk appetite into mitigation strategies, support risk owners with tools and data, and ensure timely reporting to senior leadership and the Risk Committee.
