Jeff Simmons, Senior Advisor, former MUFG

Sean Titley, former Director of Enterprise and Operational Risk, Metro Bank

Ionela Emmett, Senior Manager, Financial Crime Controls, Risks and Policy & Advisory, ICBC Standard Bank

Sean Titley, Jeff Simmons, and Ionela Emmett discuss the vital role of adaptive governance in managing evolving tech risks. They highlight collaboration, board awareness, agile frameworks, and the importance of integrating third-party and AI-related risks into enterprise risk strategies.

Governance is no longer a static function—it must evolve in step with the rapid advancements in financial technology. Sean Titley, Jeff Simmons, and Ionela Emmett stress that institutions need both a top-down and bottom-up approach to effectively manage tech-related risks.

Boards must be equipped with a working knowledge of technology to ask the right questions and challenge assumptions, while risk owners across the business must remain engaged and informed. The convergence of compliance, IT, and risk management is essential to creating a comprehensive defense against threats like cyberattacks, system failures, and misuse of AI.
