The ALRiM Board Has Been Renewed – What’s New?
The Luxembourg Association for Risk Management (ALRiM) has recently renewed its Board of Directors, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing development. Three new members have joined the board: Sarah Cardmaker from BDO, Frédéric Guilmin from EY, and Jean-Philippe Peters from Deloitte. Their appointment reflects ALRiM’s commitment to diversifying its expertise and strengthening ties with leading advisory and audit firms in Luxembourg. This new team remains dedicated to ALRiM’s mission: promoting a strong risk culture, encouraging the exchange of knowledge, and supporting the continuous professional development of risk management practitioners across the financial and insurance sectors. In this new dynamic, ALRiM is reinforcing its position as a key platform for dialogue, learning, and collaboration. The association aims to further enhance its training initiatives, expand cross-sector engagement, and continue contributing to Luxembourg’s reputation as a center of excellence in risk management.
What Have Been ALRiM’s Most Recent Activities?
Over the past months, ALRiM has pursued an ambitious program of events, training sessions, and strategic partnerships to strengthen the risk management community in Luxembourg. The association hosted several high-level conferences addressing major current topics, including Artificial Intelligence, Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and European defense and geopolitical risks — encouraging debate and reflection on emerging risks and resilience. ALRiM also launched a new website with an improved, user-friendly design, providing easier access to information about events, courses, and publications. On the international front, ALRiM established a new cooperation with ICMA (International Capital Market Association), signing an initial contract for a course on operational risk. This partnership strengthens ICMA’s expertise in risk management while allowing ALRiM to engage with a global network spanning over 60 countries. In parallel, ALRiM and GFR (Global Fund Risk) launched the Risk Academy, a key training initiative that reinforces ALRiM’s educational mission and promotes a strong risk management culture within the financial ecosystem.
“This new team remains dedicated to ALRiM’s mission: promoting a strong risk culture.”
How Will ALRiM Develop in the Coming Years?
Looking ahead, ALRiM aims to consolidate its role as a collaborative platform serving risk professionals and financial institutions. The association will continue to expand its working groups, including the existing AML working group, and launch a new one dedicated to the insurance sector, addressing industry-specific challenges and fostering knowledge exchange. ALRiM will also continue its close cooperation with regulators, including active participation in several CSSF technical committees and an ESMA advisory committee, contributing to discussions on regulatory evolution and best practices in European risk management. Furthermore, cooperation between ALRiM and FERMA (the Federation of European Risk Management Associations) — of which ALRiM has been a long-standing member — will be strengthened, particularly in the area of insurance. This enhanced collaboration is supported by the recent appointment of Laurent Nihoul, a long-time ALRiM Board member, as CEO of FERMA. His new position opens fresh opportunities for collaboration between both associations and deepens the dialogue on risk management across Europe. Through these initiatives, ALRiM continues to build a modern, responsible, and forward-looking risk management community in Luxembourg and beyond.
