RIMS, the risk management society, has appointed Julie Pemberton as president for the 2016 term, effective immediately.
Pemberton is the director of enterprise risk and insurance management for Outerwall. She has been a member of RIMS for more than 16 years and on its board of directors for six years.
Prior to her new appointment, she served as the society’s vice president and board liaison to the RIMS external affairs committee.
Pemberton commented: “Risk professionals’ responsibilities continue to evolve and are growing within their organisations. In addition to mitigating the impact of a risk, practitioners are initiating ideas and developing solutions to not only prevent unwanted risks but to embrace and enable risk taking that optimises business growth.”
“As RIMS 62nd president, I look forward to helping this society focus on the future, ensuring that we continue to advance and convert ideas into valuable resources that support the world’s risk management community.”
