He also holds the Certificate of Practice in Sustainability and Climate Risk Management and the Operational Risk Management (ORM) Certificate from PRMIA – Professional Risk Managers’ International Association.

“Helmut brings an impressive resume of global leadership in several important roles, including his current work at the IMF,” said David R.

"We appreciate the enthusiasm he brings to continuous learning and his commitment to excellence in risk management and risk governance. We are proud to count him among our credential holders."

The Certificate in Risk Governance^® is awarded to those who have completed The Board Members' Course on Risk^® - an intensive 17-course education program and evaluation. The curriculum is designed for current and aspiring board members who seek to advance the governance of risk-taking at their organizations and those who interact with boards. Taught by some of the world's leading figures in risk governance, the program features lessons by nearly 50 board members, C-level executives, and well-known authors from five continents.
