Riskonnect

Riskonnect is an integrated risk management (IRM) software company headquartered in Kennesaw, Georgia. Founded in 2007 by Bob Morrell, Antonio Dabraio, and Roger Dunkin, the company helps enterprises connect governance, risk, compliance, claims, resilience, third-party risk, and business continuity through a single cloud-based platform.

The company now serves more than 2,700 customers across six continents with more than 2,000 risk professionals in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. That scale matters because enterprise risk no longer behaves like a collection of separate departments. Cyber incidents, AI governance, regulatory obligations, insurance claims, supplier exposure, and operational resilience increasingly converge within the same business decisions.

About Riskonnect

Riskonnect was built around a simple premise: risks do not happen in isolation, so risk software should not force organizations to manage them that way. The company has expanded from a cloud-native risk platform into one of the broadest IRM ecosystems in the market, with capabilities spanning RMIS, governance, risk and compliance, claims management, operational resilience, business continuity, healthcare risk, policy administration, and third-party risk management.

That expansion has been driven through both product development and acquisitions. Riskonnect added Marsh ClearSight in 2018, Sword GRC and Castellan Solutions in 2022, Ventiv Technology in 2023, and Camms in 2024, extending its capabilities across claims, project risk, business continuity, resilience, and governance, risk, and compliance. Privately held Riskonnect is backed by TA Associates following a 2021 growth investment, after an earlier ownership chapter with Thoma Bravo.

Why Riskonnect Matters Right Now

Enterprise software buyers are increasingly moving away from isolated tools that create more dashboards than decisions. In risk management, that fragmentation becomes expensive because legal, security, finance, operations, compliance, insurance, and resilience teams may each understand part of the organization's exposure while executives still lack a unified view.

Riskonnect's platform strategy aligns with that shift. Rather than treating cyber risk, compliance, claims, continuity planning, and AI oversight as disconnected workflows, the company brings those disciplines together within a single operating environment, reflecting how enterprise risk management continues to evolve.

The Problem Riskonnect Is Solving

Traditional enterprise risk management often mirrors organizational structures rather than operational reality. Legal teams oversee compliance, security teams monitor cyber threats, operations teams manage continuity planning, finance teams assess exposure, and insurance teams administer claims. Even when each function performs well independently, organizations can still struggle to understand how risks interact across the business.

Riskonnect provides a shared system of record for enterprise risk. Its platform connects operational, financial, regulatory, and resilience data to help organizations understand how disruptions in one area can affect the broader business before those impacts become operational, financial, or regulatory issues.

AI Is Becoming a Risk Management Tool

Riskonnect's recent AI initiatives focus on operational risk management rather than general productivity. The company's Intelligent Risk Framework, integrated with Salesforce Agentforce, is designed to guide users, predict potential outcomes, and support workflows across the Riskonnect platform.

The company has also introduced AI governance capabilities to help organizations manage the regulatory and operational risks associated with enterprise AI adoption. Riskonnect reports that claims professionals using its guide agents have reduced claim-note review time by approximately 60% to 70%. Those figures are based on company-reported results and illustrate how the platform is applying AI within operational risk workflows.

Leadership and Team

Riskonnect combines founder continuity with experienced enterprise software leadership. CEO Jim Wetekamp joined the company in 2018, while co-founder Roger Dunkin continues to serve as Chief Strategy Officer after more than 15 years helping shape the company's strategy and product direction.

The leadership team also includes Peter Vlerick as CFO, Kathryn Carlson as Chief Product Officer, Fritz Hesse as CTO, Andrea Brody as Chief Marketing Officer, Kevin Crow as Chief Human Resources Officer, Alan Friedman as Chief Professional Services Officer, John Ryan Shaw as Chief Customer Officer, Eric Zoref as Chief Sales Officer, John Casazza as SVP of Technical Operations, and Mark Holt as Head of Sales, International.

Why Hiring Momentum Matters

Hiring activity provides another indicator of continued investment. Riskonnect continues recruiting across engineering, product, customer success, sales, finance, analytics, and operations in multiple regions, and the company's careers page highlights ongoing investment across technical and business functions.

For a company already operating globally, continued hiring aligns with platform expansion, customer support, and product development. It also reflects the growing importance of integrated risk management as organizations expand governance and resilience initiatives.

What This Signals for Enterprise Risk Management

Risk management is increasingly evolving from a compliance function into a strategic operating discipline. Organizations now need to understand how cyber incidents affect operations, how AI changes governance requirements, how supplier disruptions influence resilience, and how regulatory obligations interact across jurisdictions.

That evolution is creating demand for platforms that connect enterprise risk information rather than managing individual categories independently. Riskonnect's growth reflects the increasing importance of integrated risk management as enterprise organizations seek greater visibility across interconnected business risks.

The Bigger Industry Shift

Enterprise software continues moving toward connected operating platforms. Finance standardized around ERP systems, customer-facing organizations increasingly unified around CRM platforms, and enterprise risk management is following a similar path by bringing governance, resilience, compliance, cyber risk, claims, and AI oversight together within integrated platforms.

Riskonnect has spent nearly two decades building toward that transition. Its trajectory reflects the broader evolution of enterprise risk management into a connected business function, where organizations increasingly manage risk as an integrated operating discipline rather than a collection of independent processes.
