I’m Francesca Dickson, guiding companies to risk-ready success for over 15 years

With  two decades of experience in Risk & Governance, I've learned that successful risk management is less about saying "no" - and more about enabling your team to say "yes" with informed confidence. Through my experience across listed companies, technology firms, and startups, I've discovered that when risk management becomes intuitive and engaging, teams stop seeing it as a hurdle and start using it as a strategic advantage.

My approach combines deep technical expertise with a focus on the human element of risk. For me, risk is not just about metrics and processes, but about people. I believe that the best results are achieved when organisations cultivate a strong, integrated risk-aware culture, where people truly understand risk and are empowered to take action.

That’s when risk is transformed from a mandatory checkbox into a powerful tool for achieving your business goals.
