Just ahead of RISKWORLD 2024, the annual risk management convention happening this year in San Diego, RIMS, the risk management society, announced the winner of its annual Risk Manager of the Year Award. Calls went out in the fall for this long-standing honor, which aims to raise the profile of the risk management profession as well as the outstanding programs that honorees have implemented within their organizations. This year's winner is Steve Robles, the recently retired assistant CEO for Los Angeles County. On this episode of Insurance Speak, Robles talks about the massive responsibility of managing risk for one of the largest counties in the U.S., along with what kept him up at night as a risk manager, and what he found most rewarding about the job.
