Leadership Transition The organization recently announced the departure of long-time president and CEO Sonia Baxendale, signaling a potential window for executive outreach and refreshed risk management strategies discussions with the new leadership.

Strategic Partnerships GRI is actively expanding collaboration with major Canadian financial regulators and institutions, including FCAC, OSFI, Bank of Canada, FINTRAC, and the Department of Finance Canada, presenting opportunities to offer risk intelligence services, advisory, and joint research programs.

Thought Leadership As a premier global thought leader in financial risk management, GRI engages in surveys and reports (e.g., Canadian Financial Services Risk Outlook) and AI ethics discussions, creating entry points for advanced analytics, AI governance solutions, and enterprise risk platforms.

Data and Compliance Focus GRI’s activities around risk outlooks, regulatory collaboration, and AI implications indicate a priority on governance, compliance, and data-driven risk insights—sales angles include GRC, incident response, and regulatory reporting technology.
