Summary
Mario Keil explains why risk teams need more than traditional GRC. At Risk-!n 2026, he argues for linking strategy, performance, and risk in one platform. That shift helps boards see how risks could block long-term business goals. He also stresses that AI becomes more useful when it is grounded in real business context.
For Corporater, the Swiss market is a new growth step built on visibility, conversations, and strategic relevance.
Insights
Integrated thinking
At Risk-!n 2026 in Zurich, Mario Keil, Head of Sales Germany, Switzerland and Austria at Corporater, explained why integrated risk management is no longer enough on its own. In his flash interview with Philippe Séjalon, CEO, The INGAGE Institute, he described how organisations need one platform that connects policies, regulations, risk, and controls instead of handling them in separate silos. That integrated approach reflects the full business model and creates a kind of digital twin for decision-making.
From GRC to GPRC
The most striking idea from the conversation was Corporater’s move beyond traditional GRC towards GPRC by adding performance management and strategy to the equation. Keil argued that if a company has long-term objectives, it must also understand the risks that could prevent those goals from being achieved. This makes risk management more relevant to boards and executives, because it links operational exposure directly to strategic ambition.
Business context for AI
Keil also made a sharp point about AI: the real value is no longer in standalone features, but in the quality of the business context behind them. Because Corporater’s platform already brings together organisational structures, strategic goals, and risk information, it gives companies a stronger base for more meaningful AI use. In a world shaped by geopolitical disruption and fast-changing priorities, that context can help businesses adapt more quickly and more intelligently.
Complex sales, clear value
Corporater’s appearance at Risk-!n marked its first visible step into Switzerland, with brand awareness and new relationships high on the agenda. Keil was candid that selling a platform of this depth is complex, largely because many stakeholders must align before adoption can happen. Still, the message was clear: when firms want strategy, performance, and risk management in one place, the value proposition becomes hard to ignore.
