Welcome to the first StrategicRISK email newsletter aimed specifically at risk professionals in the Middle East and Africa region

Mike Jones

For those of you who have received this newsletter and are unfamiliar with StrategicRISK, let me explain who we are.

StrategicRISK is an award-winning international media brand which produces magazines, website content and events aimed specifically at large corporate risk professionals.

Our aim is to identify and highlight the risks faced by large corporate businesses and consider how best risk professionals might deal with them, whether through mitigation strategies or risk transfer solutions – or a combination of both.

The magazine was launched in the UK in 2000 and this month will publish its 100th edition. In that time its audience has increased significantly to reach readers across Europe and beyond.

Two years ago StrategicRISK launched across Asia with a unique magazine and a continuing series of events held in countries across the Asia-Pacific region.

In April the second StrategicRISK Asia Forum will be held in Singapore, aiming to build on the success of last year’s inaugural event which attracted almost 200 risk professionals from across the region. The brand’s success in the Asia-Pacific region was last month (February) recognised when StrategicRISK Asia won the Risk Management Journalism award at the Institute of Risk Management’s Global Risks Awards.

By showcasing the latest risk and corporate governance intelligence we also aim to provide a platform for thought leadership for some of the most respected individuals in the global risk community.

While the publication goes from strength to strength in Europe and Asia, StrategicRISK is continuing to develop its international focus further by launching in the Middle East and Africa region.

This newsletter is one of a number of initiatives we are undertaking in the MEA region which will be free to risk managers.

You will receive a newsletter emailed directly to your inbox every fortnight, featuring the latest risk and insurance news from the region.

We have already been working with MEA-based risk professionals and businesses for some time to help develop the brand and will be hosting a series of events in the region over the coming months.

In the meantime, if you would like to see a little more of StrategicRISK click here to visit our website where you will be able to read analysis and features as well as the latest risk and insurance news from around the world.

We hope very much that you like what you see and will continue to read StategicRISK and attend our events as we develop our operation further across this exciting region.
