In this episode of Risk Is Our Business, Captain Michael Rasmussen is joined by Franck Baron—President of IFRIMA and Group General Manager for Risk Management & Insurance at International SOS—for a deep-space dive into the evolving world of enterprise risk. With a career spanning Mars to Danone, AXA to Firmenich, and leadership roles across Europe and Asia-Pacific, Franck offers a global perspective few can match.

They explore how the risk profession has changed over the years, and why those changes matter. From the growing confusion between risk and compliance to the cultural divides between U.S., European, and Asia-Pacific approaches, Franck unpacks the nuance behind the titles and frameworks. He makes the case for keeping risk and compliance distinct, even in a world where compliance risks are rising fast.

Most importantly, they ask the question: what does good risk management really look like inside an organization? Franck shares what works, what doesn’t, and how risk leaders can earn influence not by shouting the loudest, but by enabling better decisions, stronger resilience, and clearer strategy.

If you’ve ever felt like your risk program was stuck in orbit, this conversation might just give you the coordinates to chart a new course.

In this episode of Risk Is Our Business, Captain Michael Rasmussen welcomes aboard Laura Fox, Risk Director at AstroPay, for a high-warp journey through the risk galaxy. Laura reflects on her experience as a woman navigating a still male-dominated corner of the business universe, and why diverse leadership isn’t just a nice-to-have—it reshapes how teams approach uncertainty, challenge groupthink, and make smarter decisions.

She also tackles the great divide between best practice and boots-on-the-ground reality. From under-resourced teams to overengineered frameworks, Laura shares where theory often falls short—and how to bridge that gap without losing sight of what actually works.

From building risk frameworks from scratch to spotting the strategic opportunities others miss, Laura shows us what it takes to bring risk out of the engine room and into the command deck—where it belongs.

Tune in as they boldly go beyond the compliance checkbox and into the vibrant unknown of proactive, people-first risk leadership.
