Strategic Risk: What Compliance Can Learn from Military Intelligence with Rowena Fell

For 12 years, Rowena Fell worked in British military intelligence, assessing threats in high-risk zones like Northern Ireland, Bosnia, and Iraq. She followed that up with 17 years in senior corporate roles, applying her expertise to business risk management. Now a Senior Director of Knowledge at BCG, she helps organizations prepare for an increasingly complex risk landscape.

In this episode, Rowena shares how military principles can help compliance professionals sharpen their risk management strategies. From crisis preparation to regulatory shifts, we explore why companies must take an integrated approach to compliance and operational risk—and how AI and emerging technologies are transforming the field of compliance and risk management.
