Guardians of Uncertainty: The Making of Influential Risk Managers in the Modern World


At MAPTYCS®, we’re proud to see our Ernest Legrand featured on Risk Is Our Business with Michael Rasmussen – a leading voice in governance, risk, and compliance.

In this insightful episode, Ernest discusses the evolving role of the modern risk leader, drawing from his book Guardians of Uncertainty: The Making of Influential Risk Managers in the Modern World and decades of experience at the intersection of insurance, AI, and geospatial analytics.

Together, they explore how elite risk managers transform unpredictability into strategic advantage – moving from compliance-driven frameworks to adaptive, data-powered decision-making built on foresight, trust, and human insight.

Ernest reminds us that uncertainty isn’t chaos – it’s the true frontier of leadership.

Special thanks to Michael Rasmussen for the invitation and for hosting the Risk Is Our Business podcast.
