The Rising Star of the Year, Pauline Davoust, Risk Manager, Gate Group, and a member of SIRM, said: “We all know it is a difficult environment especially for a young professional. My career in risk management has been very captivating so far, and I have discovered how creative and cross functional this profession is for an organisation’s success. For the past two years, I have been travelling all over the world to supervise various risk management schemes within my company, which was very rewarding and successful thanks to team efforts.”

Demonstrating the value of risk management when it is put to the test

Michael Dehert

Michaël Dehert, who received the Innovative Insurance Programme of the Year Award, described how Brussels Airport Company started examining its insurance process in 2013, considering how best to insure €4 billion in property, extensive liability risks for aviation, business interruption and terrorism. On 22 March 2016, terrorists struck the airport in three locations killing and injuring many. The insurance programme responded as intended. Said Michaël: “I dedicate my award to my colleagues in Brussels Airport, the airport community and the victims of the attacks.”
