The Institute of Risk Management (IRM) is the leading professional body for enterprise risk management, advancing standards worldwide through education, qualifications and community. In December 2025 the IRM launched its Singapore regional group as part of its Asia-Pacific expansion — and appointed Jenny as its first Chair.
“Singapore is a global hub for finance, technology and trade, and risk management is central to sustaining that leadership and competitive advantage.”— Dr Jenny Tan, SIRM — Chair, IRM Singapore Group
As Chair, Jenny leads a committee of senior risk practitioners drawn from organisations across financial services, industry and the professions, with Henry Ee as Deputy Chair. The group provides a forum for members from diverse organisations to meet, exchange views and experiences, and build a mutually supportive local network committed to excellence in risk management.
Jenny's agenda for the group reflects her wider work: bringing human risk management into the mainstream of enterprise risk, strengthening the link between risk, audit and assurance, and connecting Singapore's risk community with the IRM's growing ASEAN network.
Restructuring is usually judged on cost savings and fewer reporting lines. Jenny looks at the human risks that build up underneath, and why boards should treat them as governance risks.
