Jason Wang, Chief Risk Officer at Synergy Credit Union, joined the financial institution  to build out and enhance its  enterprise risk management functions, including a disaster recovery and pandemic response framework — all just before the start of the pandemic.

Jason’s forethought and preparation positioned Synergy to successfully navigate COVID-19.

In this episode of GRC & Me, Jason shares his experiences chairing Synergy’s COVID-19 Committee and discusses how to evaluate new risks that have emerged within your company in the aftermath of the pandemic. Jason also speaks to the importance of understanding Environmental Social Governance (ESG), why it’s here to stay, and what you should be doing about it.

Jason believes that everyone is a risk manager in your organization and provides strategies to help you create company-wide buy-in for mitigating risk and protecting your data.
