Expanding our simplified approach to risk management 

Risk management has long been a complex and fragmented process for businesses, often requiring multiple tools and platforms to achieve comprehensive oversight. At RiskSmart, we are committed to changing that by providing an intuitive, all-in-one solution that empowers businesses to manage risk proactively and efficiently. 

“We’re really excited to build on the success of the organic growth we’ve already seen in the US and continue to provide value to new and existing customers here.”

How we stand out in the marketplace 

As with the UK, North America is also experiencing pivotal regulatory shifts, in addition to a new US administration with an expansive agenda. This means risk departments across the continent are expecting to deal with heightened risk and increased uncertainty. 

Saul explains that higher levels of uncertainty fuel a more pragmatic and simplified approach to risk. 

Making risk management more straightforward 

“I joined RiskSmart because the organisation is providing a unique solution and customer experience into the market. In the US, there are many different providers, but what I saw from RiskSmart was a very pragmatic, customer-centric approach that allows clients to solve the challenges of today while providing the flexibility to evolve as their businesses do.”  

A fresh perspective on risk management 

Saul Bello brings almost 15 years of experience in transforming risk management and improving frameworks for companies. His leadership will be instrumental in forging new partnerships, strengthening our presence in the US market, and ensuring that companies of all sizes can access the tools they need to navigate an increasingly complex risk landscape. 

“Many GRC professionals have at some point been involved in using software with long and heavy implementation processes, restrictive user experiences, and that are generally over-engineered. RiskSmart can give those customers a fresh perspective on how they can manage their processes in a streamlined, modern, and centralised system,” he explains.  

Our continued expansion into the Americas is a significant milestone in RiskSmart’s journey. The US market presents a vast opportunity, with countless businesses seeking more streamlined, data-driven risk management solutions. By deepening our footprint in North America, we aim to help businesses stay ahead of risks while fostering resilience and innovation.
