Testimonials

Inspiring feedback from past students of our Risk Management and ERM certification programs. Discover their success experiences.

Completing the ARiMI-CERM™ and ARiMI-CPRM™ programs provided me with a useful approach and roadmap to operate as an effective risk manager for my organization. Given the multitudes of risks my company is exposed to, ARiMI’s Enterprise Value Risk Assessment (EVRA) provides focus on the risks that really matter, the key risks affecting key resources and processes. EVRA has been approved as the official risk assessment process for my company’s operational risks. 

ARiMI-CERM™ also serves as the guide in developing the risk maturity and ethical risk awareness culture of my company. Marc always emphasizes that risk management requires an ethical, risk-aware culture and approach, and he lives by example.

I appreciate that Marc is approachable. He still coaches me on how to address specific risk management concerns I encounter in my work.

ARiMI-CERM™ & ARiMI-CPRM™, Home Development Mutual Fund I PHILIPPINES

I was starting out as a young manager, heading the risk management function in my organization and I was never comfortable and convinced with what consultants have been “selling” to the organization. But things quickly changed and I consider myself extremely fortunate to have Marc as my teacher in ARiMI when I decided to pursue a certification in enterprise risk management. He shared his wealth of knowledge in risk management in the most engaging manner, often combining risk management theories with invaluable work experiences and events that happened in the past and present.

What I found most rewarding from Marc’s coaching philosophy was that he has instilled confidence in me, and I believe also to all his students, to design and internalize a robust risk management framework for my employer and potential future employers. 

It is obvious that there isn’t a risk management framework that fits a “one-size-fit-all” bill and Marc ensures that he had time to communicate with us and give us tips to assist us in our work.

I am a proud gradudate from batch AX22 and I have been applying Marc’s teachings to great effect in my course of work. I would strongly recommend budding risk management professionals or anyone who needs guidance in risk management to engage Marc and ARiMI.

Marc demonstrated excellent qualities not only as an experienced risk strategist, but also a captivating and truly inspiring lecturer and mentor. During the 9 months of the ARiMI-CERM™ certification class, I was impressed with his ability to combine a deep understanding of the theoretical tenets of risk and compliance with their practical applications on complex real-life cases. I could not recommend him more.

Veejay Madhavan

ARiMI-CERM™, Prudential Corporation Asia l SINGAPORE

Marc is a thought leader in the area of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). His ability to transform his vast experience into practical concepts and great learning experiences for Risk Management Professionals is outstanding. 

Marc has moved the concept of ERM well beyond the stage of being a theoretical concept to the stage of being a real value-add business function. Breaking up the silo management of process of traditional special risk areas like Financial Risk, Operational Risk, Safety & Security, fraud and many others, his approach truly focuses on achieving the business objectives of any organisation rather than pure control & compliance. 

I, therefore, highly recommend Marc as coach and expert in the area of Enterprise Risk Management.

Vasantha Gopal

ARiMI-CERM™, World Vision I THAILAND / GERMANY

Marc is an expert risk strategic and an excellent mentor and coach. Having participated in the ARiMI CPRM™ program in 2015 in Singapore, I have progressed on 12 months later to establishing my own safety, risk & strategy consultancy in New Zealand. Marc has a wealth of experience which he is able to blend into his coaching programs, making theories and models come to life in business.

I would recommend engaging Marc without hesitation. And as a business owner now, will be looking to send my talent to Marc to attain the cutting edge expertise I have been fortunate to obtain through Marc’s tutelage.

ARiMI-CPRM™, Safe365 l AUSTRALIA/NEW ZEALAND

The ARiMI-CPRM™ course was a highly productive 8-day program, providing a solid foundation in understanding risk and risk management. It covered methodologies for conducting thorough risk profiling, assessments, measurements, and developing mitigation plans. As part of the first batch to attend the live online program, I found the experience highly engaging despite the switch to online learning. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to take their first step and delve deeper into risk management.

Stephanie Chua

ARiMI-CPRM™, Corporate Planning Manager l BRUNEI

Along my journey in risk management, I have learned there are 2 ways to get valuable insights on Risk Management – by experiencing a crisis and by interacting with experienced and smart people. Marc pertains to this category of people, helping you to challenge and extend your view on many critical areas of risk management. The CPRM™ program developed by Marc was definitely a pleasant and useful experience in my career. And needless to say that talking to Marc on risk matters is not only inspiring and helpful, but also far more enjoyable than experiencing a crisis.

Ramesh Nair

ARiMI-CPRM™, Standard Chartered Bank l SINGAPORE

I attended ARiMI’s Risk Management course some time ago in late 2012 stretching into 2013. The CPRM™ course taught by Marc Ronez has served me well over the last decade in identifying risks and finding cost effective ways to mitigate them over the three to four organisations that I have worked for since 2013.

While this recommendation is written (in 2024) some time after the course, the fact that I have written it proves the applicability and usefulness of lessons that Marc thought. If he is still conducting the course, I recommend it heartily, and with no hesitation. Marc Ronez is an expert in this area.

Leong Heng

ARiMI-CPRM™, Rolls-Royce l SINGAPORE

The ARiMI program fundamentally changed the way I think about business and I wish I had undertaken it 20 years ago. This was in large part due to Marc’s expertise, analysis and humour that made risk management an engaging topic for learning (no easy task). He is an excellent teacher. I was also (pleasantly) surprised by Marc’s in-depth understanding of the particular challenges facing not-for-profits. This was unexpected and made my time with Marc and ARiMI even more valuable.

Stephanie Chua

ARiMI-CPRM™, Corporate Planning Manager l BRUNEI

Thought it would be a struggle to deliver a topic like Risk Management over a long 8 days period. But because of the excellent way Marc has facilitated the training, I have learned well and benefitted much from the course. He had a great way of putting across the information (of a very dry subject) in a very entertaining and engaging manner.

He shared real-life case studies, videos and lively discussions to make the whole experience so interesting and fulfulling. It was one of the BEST training courses I have attended. Thank you.

Alan Puan

Pamela Koh

I attended the CPRM™ certificaton program at ARiMI in 2011. The course is very productive; it enlarges my experience and knowledge of risk management as well. Besides, I have also met classmates from different industries and countries.

The instructor has rich experience in this area and lots of creative view point on problem solving. His CSS methodology is very useful in looking at company key processes and key factors to define risks. Such methodolgoy can be used for work and personal life.

Rong Chen
