The industrial landscape is shifting, and the companies that thrive will be those that learn to price risk rather than just avoid it. In this episode of the Risk Management Show, we explore why traditional vendor management is failing and how continuous assurance is the new standard for industrial leaders.
Our guest, Jowanza Joseph, founder and CEO of Parakeet, shares his journey from fintech to the industrial sector.
He explains how the intersection of technology and operations is fundamentally changing how we handle contractor and supply chain exposure. We discuss the move from static, annual reviews to a continuous model of risk underwriting that keeps organizations safe in a fast-moving world.
