Patrick Roesink - My personal journey in Risk Management

From the early days of my career, I’ve leveraged data and technology to enhance my work. In the mid-90s, as a market risk manager, I built Black & Scholes option models and bond pricing models in Excel for a Central European office, fine-tuning Value at Risk models to capture local market behavior. This provided key insights into potential arbitrage opportunities and a better understanding of the risks we faced. Later, I co-created an enterprise-wide credit risk exposure system, consolidating global corporate credit exposures, which informed strategic business decisions.

Frustrated by the time-consuming process of data gathering and report creation, I focused on implementing macros and automation in the early 2000s, streamlining routine processes to allow more time for analysis and action. This data-driven approach became foundational in my vision of an ideal risk management organization where data played a crucial role.

I realized that automation and digitization not only improved efficiencies but also enhanced risk management processes, enabling better decisions. Risk assessment, measurement, and monitoring all required digital data. Combining this with business and external data enabled powerful predictive analytics and comprehensive E2E experiences. Incorporating technologies like Optical Character Recognition, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Robotic Process Automation brought risk management into the spotlight.

Armed with crucial data and solid risk practices, Chief Risk Officers (CROs) gained a more prominent seat at the business strategy table. Witnessing and driving this transformation over the decades led me to found Redefi Consultancy. My goal is to help other companies build robust and effective risk management organizations that not only manage risks within their appetite but also add value to the business, turning risk management into a competitive advantage.
