The Influencers: Digital Transformation · 2026-04-22 · 23 min
Risk leaders are being asked to make bigger decisions, faster, with less certainty than ever before. Diane Maxwell, CEO of Airmic, joins Karishma Paroha and Tom Hughes in this episode of The Influencers to reflect on what that reality means for the future of risk management and insurance. From cyber threats and AI to quantum computing and systemic risk, Diane explores why technology is both a solution and a source of new uncertainty. She shares where risk tech is genuinely adding value today, why adoption often lags behind ambition, and why curiosity, humility and the confidence to say “I don’t know” are becoming essential leadership traits. A thoughtful conversation for anyone navigating risk, resilience and decision‑making in a rapidly changing world. About Airmic: Airmic is the UK’s leading association for risk management professionals, supporting a broad membership across sectors including retail, energy, automotive, food and hospitality.
