New York:
The risk management society, RIMS, announced that Laura Langone, head of Insurance Operations at Airbnb, Inc. will lead the association as president for the 2020 term.
As president, Langone is succeeding Gloria Brosius, who is director of Risk Management and Insurance for Pinnacle Agriculture Distribution in Loveland, Colorado.
Prior to Airbnb, Langone was the head of Insurance and Risk Management at PayPal and Juniper Networks. Throughout her more than 20-year career in risk management, her other positions have been with Genentech, Marsh, Oracle and the insurance defense law firm, Gordon & Rees, LLP.
Langone has been a member of RIMS for 22 years and joined its board of directors in 2016. Langone, who is based in San Francisco, held board positions with the RIMS Silicon Valley chapter, including serving as president for four years.
Today’s risk professional can’t afford to be complacent. While the world around us evolves, especially with the introduction of new technologies, we must be ready to embrace different perspectives, different strategies and dare ourselves to be different,” Langone said.
“Stepping outside of our comfort zone can be intimidating, but those who are ready for the challenge will find greater opportunities to strengthen their risk programs and elevate their careers,” she added.
Founded in 1950, as the preeminent organization dedicated to promoting the profession of risk management, RIMS, the risk management society®, is a global not-for-profit organization committed to advancing risk management capabilities for organizational success, bringing networking, professional development and education opportunities to its membership of approximately 10,000 risk management professionals who are located in more than 60 countries.
