Riskonnect, the leading provider of risk management technology, announced today the appointment of Quin Rodriguez as Director of Governance Risk & Compliance (GRC) Sales.  Rodriguez brings to Riskonnect more than 18 years of Executive Sales Management and Leadership experience, with 10 years in the GRC sector.  Rodriguez was most recently immersed in Governance, Risk, Compliance and Audit at a Riskonnect competing technology provider, MetricStream.  Rodriguez joins Riskonnect to lead Riskonnect’s expansion of it’s GRC footprint disrupting the traditional technology providers in this area because of the flexibility of the Riskonnect GRC product and it’s comprehensive design to meet any organization’s GRC requirements.

“Our clients are being approached by their peers who have seen Riskonnect GRC in action, and who have ideas on how they may be able to use it to solve other challenges. They are actively looking to Riskonnect GRC to solve a broad array of challenges their organizations face, such as Internal Audit, Business Continuity Management, Vendor Risk Management, and many other areas related to GRC and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), “ said Russell McGuire, Director, Enterprise Risk Services at Riskonnect Inc.

“Riskonnect has its roots in the area of GRC, and has experienced rapid growth in all parts of its risk management work platform. To meet client demand globally, we are being driven to expand our GRC business.  Riskonnect GRC is a flexible, scalable, configurable Governance, Risk and Compliance technology solution that adapts to our clients’ changing risk culture,” said Roger Dunkin, Vice President, Applications & Platform at Riskonnect. “As our client organizations’ GRC strategy matures and as regulatory requirements change, Riskonnect GRC keeps pace and readily adapts to new requirements.“

With business continuity management (BCM) a critically important pillar of an organization’s overall risk management program, Riskonnect announced a strategic alliance with Fusion Risk Management™ in April to jointly market and deliver a unified solution consisting of Riskonnect’s risk management work platform and Fusion Risk Management’s Fusion Framework Business configuration.  Together Riskonnect and Fusion provide a comprehensive GRC management solution for enterprise risk management, business resilience and compliance, and effective response at time of crisis. Now, all types of organizations are better able to ensure the protection of people, assets, and shareholder value through this collaborative approach toward reducing losses, controlling risks, and responding to disruptive events.

“We needed a seasoned leader to take us to that next level of penetration in the GRC marketplace. So we brought Quin Rodriguez to be our director of GRC Sales. He brings a wealth of expertise in GRC to our organization as we look forward to the next phase in our growth,” said Bob Morrell, CEO & Co-Founder, Riskonnect.  Rodriguez was most recently at MetricStream, and also hails from top corporations such as Wolters Kluwer Financial Services, Neohapsis, Sutherland Global Services, and ModusLink.
