This individual should have experience in framing up risk escalations to a leadership team for risk decisions, following up on these decisions, tracking the risk, and monitoring the risk. This person will help offer recommendations for improvements, design, and streamline GRC oversight over all these processes and implement alongside other key GRC members.
