Summit Agenda
Theme: Geopolitics
Speaker: Ulderigo Zona, Hitachi Rail
Description: In a world where volatility is no longer episodic but structural, resilience can no longer be a defensive posture, it must become a deliberate design choice. This session explores how leading organisations are redefining resilience for tomorrow and beyond: not only absorbing shocks, but adapting, evolving, and competing through uncertainty.
Bringing together senior leaders from finance, insurance, and global consumer industries, the discussion will examine how resilience is structured, governed, measured, and lived across different sectors. What does resilience mean in practice today? How are organisations recalibrating their models in the face of geopolitical instability, cyber threats, regulatory pressure, and reputational exposure? And how do leaders personally adapt to this new normal of constant pressure?
This panel is designed as a candid, cross-sectoral, and forward-looking conversation offering comparative insights and practical reflections from those shaping resilience strategies at the highest levels

Description: In an era defined by disruption and complexity, risk is no longer confined to the compliance department—it’s a strategic lens through which resilient organisations are built. This panel brings together leaders from across industries to explore how risk management is evolving from a reactive safeguard into a proactive enabler of agility and long-term value. We’ll examine how forward-thinking companies are embedding risk awareness into their culture, governance, and decision-making processes. While compliance remains essential, its role is shifting toward translating risk intelligence into actionable frameworks that support resilience and growth. Join us for a dynamic session on designing organizations that don’t just withstand uncertainty—but thrive in it.
Speakers:
- Franck Baron (moderator), President of International Federation of Risk & Insurance Management Associations (IFRIMA)
