Global Risks Alliance Leadership Council
Financial Risk. Capital Resilience. Exponential Technology.
The financial services industry is entering a new risk regime.
Artificial intelligence, cyber risk, cloud concentration, digital assets, quantum technologies, autonomous systems, climate and nature risk, geopolitical fragmentation, sovereign stress, critical infrastructure dependencies, and supply-chain disruption are no longer separate concerns. They increasingly converge through the financial system and affect credit, liquidity, insurance, capital adequacy, asset values, payments, settlement, market infrastructure, operational continuity, model risk, third-party concentration, investment portfolios, and financial stability.
The Global Risks Alliance (GRA)
The Global Risks Alliance (GRA) is building a global business league for the financial services industry within the Nexus Consortium, alongside the Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) and the Global Risks Forum (GRF).
Together, GCRI, GRF, and GRA connect risk intelligence, evidence, standards, governance, financial readiness, and institutional action across global risks, national priorities, and the financial system.
- GCRI is a fiercely independent, non-partisan public-interest institution with Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) since 2023 and an active international network spanning more than 120 countries. GCRI is also a Member Organization of the Santiago Network for Loss and Damage and engages through established World Bank and International Monetary Fund civil-society and policy channels on systemic risk, resilience, development finance, disaster risk finance, and related public-interest priorities.
Within this architecture, GRA is focused specifically on a defining challenge:
How should financial institutions understand, test, price, govern, and de-risk the new generation of risks reshaping capital, markets, and financial stability?
GRA is being built as a frontier institution for the financial services industry, bringing together senior leaders to develop practical approaches to systemic risk, financial resilience, capital readiness, risk transfer, technology adoption, and the increasingly complex dependencies connecting finance, infrastructure, and exponential technologies.
GRA works across the full financial system:
- Banking and Treasury
- Commercial and investment banking, corporate banking, credit, liquidity, ALM, collateral, treasury, counterparty exposure, and balance-sheet resilience.
- Insurance and Reinsurance
- Underwriting, catastrophe and emerging risk, specialty insurance, actuarial science, protection gaps, accumulation risk, risk transfer, and insurance-linked capital.
- Asset Management and Institutional Capital
- Pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, asset owners, asset managers, endowments, family offices, portfolio construction, stewardship, and long-horizon risk.
- Capital Markets and Market Infrastructure
- Fixed income, equities, derivatives, structured finance, exchanges, clearing, settlement, custody, securities infrastructure, and market continuity.
- Private Capital and Investment
- Private equity, venture capital, growth capital, infrastructure, private credit, real assets, and investment in frontier and exponential technologies.
- Payments, Fintech, and Digital Finance
- Payments, financial technology, digital assets, tokenization, banking infrastructure, and next-generation financial platforms.
- Development, Sovereign, and Risk Finance
- Multilateral and development finance, blended finance, guarantees, sovereign risk, resilience finance, climate finance, loss and damage, contingent finance, and risk-transfer structures.
- Risk, Technology, and Governance
- Enterprise risk, operational resilience, AI governance, cyber, model risk, third-party risk, compliance, audit, financial technology, data, and regulatory strategy.

Who We Are Looking For
GRA is seeking senior leaders who already hold significant positions within the financial services industry and can contribute alongside their existing executive, Board, or institutional responsibilities. This may include:
- CEOs, Presidents, Chairs, and Board Directors
- CIOs, CROs, CFOs, CTOs, CISOs, and other C-suite leaders
- Managing Partners and senior investment executives
- Senior leaders in banking, insurance, and reinsurance
- Asset owners, asset managers, and institutional investors
- Capital-markets and financial-infrastructure executives
- Private equity, venture capital, and private-credit leaders
- Fintech, payments, and digital-finance executives
- Development-finance and sovereign-risk leaders
- Senior professionals responsible for risk, resilience, technology, regulation, and financial stability
The strongest candidates will bring more than expertise. They should have the authority, institutional reach, and networks to cause meaningful action.
We are looking for leaders who can:
- Identify emerging risks before they become embedded across markets and balance sheets
- Connect financial risk with exponential technology, infrastructure, and geopolitical change
- Convene senior decision-makers across financial institutions, technology, industry, and public institutions
- Mobilize institutional relationships, expertise, partnerships, and resources
- Shape practical approaches to financial resilience, risk transfer, and capital readiness
- Help build new frameworks, benchmarks, simulations, and operating models for emerging financial risks
- Contribute at national, regional, and global scale
- Protect independence, competition integrity, regulatory boundaries, and institutional trust

Membership and Leadership Pathway
The pathway begins with GRA membership.
Candidates must be eligible and prepared to become members of GRA and meet the applicable membership, governance, fit-and-proper, conflict-of-interest, competition, compliance, and participation requirements.
Senior members in good standing may then be considered for appointment to the GRA Leadership Council, with participation structured at the national, regional, or global level according to experience, institutional reach, strategic contribution, and governance needs.
Leadership Council Members become part of GRA's senior leadership pool and may, subject to separate nomination, due diligence, and formal appointment processes, become eligible for:
- National leadership and governance roles
- Regional leadership and governance roles
- Global leadership roles
- Council Chair and Committee positions
- Relevant Board nominations and appointments
Membership or Leadership Council participation does not guarantee any Board or Chair appointment. All appointments remain selective and subject to the applicable governance process.
A Leadership Role, Not a Job
This is not an employment opportunity and it is not an honorary appointment.
Members remain in their existing executive, Board, investment, or institutional positions and contribute through a formal leadership and governance role.
The expectation is substantive participation: helping shape priorities, mobilize institutions, challenge assumptions, develop practical financial-risk responses, and strengthen the architecture through which the financial services industry can respond to increasingly complex systemic risks.
The opportunity is to help build a new global financial-services institution at the intersection of risk, capital, and exponential technology.
A platform where senior financial leaders can work across traditional institutional boundaries, connect global risks to capital decisions, and help the industry prepare before emerging risks become systemic vulnerabilities.
Expressions of Interest and Nominations Are Now Open
We welcome senior financial-services leaders prepared to contribute their judgment, institutional reach, networks, and leadership to a defining challenge for the next decade:
How should the financial system identify, test, price, govern, and de-risk the forces that will reshape capital, markets, and financial stability?
