“Marc is an expert risk strategist and an excellent mentor and coach. Having participated in the ARiMI CPRM program in 2015 in Singapore, I have progressed on 12 months later to establishing my own safety, risk & strategy consultancy in New Zealand. Marc has a wealth of experience which he is able to blend into his coaching programs making theory and models come to life in business. I would recommend engaging Marc without hesitation and as a business owner now, will be looking to send my talent to Marc to attain the cutting edge expertise I have been fortunate to obtain through Marc’s tutelage.”

“Along my journey in risk management, I have learned there are 2 ways to get valuable insights on Risk Management, by experiencing a crisis and by interacting with experienced and smart people.
Marc pertains to this category of people helping you to challenge and extend your view on many critical areas for risk management. The CPRM program developped by Marc was definitely a pleasant and useful experience in my career. And needless to say that talking to Marc on risk matters is not only inspiring and helpful but also far more enjoyable than experiencing a crisis.”

“The ARiMI CPRM course has been a very fruitful 8 days course, giving us good solid foundation in understanding risk and risk management, and methodologies to run proper risk profiling, assessments and measurements as well as mitigation plans. We were the first batch to attend the first fully live online programme, and despite the switch to online, the experience is still great with a high level of engagement felt. I highly recommend this course for those wishing to take their first step and delve deeper into the risk management arena.

“The ARiMI program fundamentally changed the way I think about business and I wish I had undertaken it 20 years ago. This was in large part due to Marc’s expertise, analysis and humour that made risk management an engaging topic for learning (no easy task). He is an excellent teacher. I was also (pleasantly) surprised by Marc’s in-depth understanding of the particular challenges facing not-for-profits. This was unexpected and made my time with Marc and ARiMI even more valuable.”

His teaching strategy is effective, encouraging participants to engage in discussions that generate creative approach and solutions to the posted case studies.

LESLIE ESPINA,
ARiMI-CPRM™
Thales, SINGAPORE
“Completing the ARiMI-CERM and ARiMI-CPRM Programs provided me with a useful approach and roadmap to operate as an effective risk manager for my organization. Given the multitudes of risks my company is exposed to, Marc’s Enterprise Value Risk Assessment (EVRA) provides focus on the risks that really matter, the key risks affecting key resources and processes. EVRA has been approved as the official risk assessment process for my company’s operational risks. CERM also serves as the guide in developing the risk maturity and ethical risk awareness culture of my company. Marc always emphasizes that risk management requires an ethical, risk-aware culture and approach. And he lives by example.
I appreciate that Marc is approachable. He still coaches me on how to address specific risk management concerns I encounter in my work.”
ROSE SALAZAR-DACANAY,

“thought it would be a struggle to deliver a topic like Risk Management over a long eight-days period, but because of the excellent way Marc has facilitated the training, I have learned well and benefited much from the course. Marc had a great way of putting across the information (of a very dry subject) in a very entertaining and engaging manner. He shared real-life case studies, videos and lively discussions to make the whole experience so interesting and fulfilling. It was one of the best training courses I have attended.
Thank you.”

“Marc has got the highest level of expertise in the Risk Management subject I have ever witnessed in my career as Risk Practitioner. His approach to coaching is top class because of his ability to associate different disciplines to demonstrate risk issues. From his coaching I have been able to improve my techniques in risk assessment and risk communication.”
SADI SHEMLIWA,
ARiMI-CERM™
National Social Security Fund, TANZANIA
“Marc is a thought leader in the area of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). His ability to transform his vast experience into practical concepts and great learning experiences for risk management professionals is outstanding. Marc has moved the concept of ERM well beyond the stage of being a theoretical concept to the stage of being a real value-add business function. Breaking-up the silo management process of traditional special risk areas like financial risk, operational risk, safety & security, fraud and many others, his approach truly focuses on achieving the business objectives of any organisation rather than pure control & compliance. I therefore highly recommend Marc as coach and expert in the area of Enterprise Risk Management.”
JAN DALHEIMER,
ARiMI-CERM™
World Vision, THAILAND / GERMANY
“I was starting out as a young manager heading the risk management function in my organization and I was never comfortable and convinced with what consultants have been ‘selling’ to the organization. But things quickly changed and I consider myself extremely fortunate to have Marc as my teacher in ARiMI when I decided to pursue a certification in enterprise risk management. He successfully shared his wealth of knowledge in risk management in the most engaging manner, often combining risk management theories with invaluable work experiences and events that happened in the past and present. What I found most rewarding from Marc’s coaching philosophy was that he has instilled confidence in me, and I believe also to all his students, to design and internalize a robust risk management framework for my employer and potential future employers. It is obvious that there isn’t a risk management framework that fits a “one-size-fit-all” bill and Marc ensures that he had time to communicate with us and give us tips to assist us in our work. I am a proud graduate from batch AX22 and I have been applying Marc’s teachings to great effect in my course of work. I would strongly recommend budding risks management professionals, or anyone who needs guidance in risk management to engage Marc and ARiMI.”
TEO TI-PIN,
ARiMI-CERM™
SMRT Corporation Ltd, SINGAPORE
“I attended the CERM program conducted by Marc in late 2013. I found him very knowledgeable in his field, particularly his ability to relate to the various industries. What I liked about the training he delivered is how a single case in point can be viewed in many risk perspectives… amazing. Marc opened my eyes on how I could become more effective on my job and further fuelled my curiosity to seek out all possible scenarios in the management of risk. Thanks Marc for your guidance!”
VEEJAY MADHAVAN,
ARiMI-CERM™
Prudential Corporation Asia, SINGAPORE
“Marc is an experienced trainer and coach who puts his teachings across clearly and succinctly.
He is strategic thinker with strong business acumen and therefore is able to discuss and illustrate how the content of his training impact businesses across different sectors.
It is one of those highly enriching sessions conducted by a thought leader who is proficient with facilitation and inculcating change.”
FAN TUCK CHEE,
