The award for Risk Manager of the Year was presented to Alex Sidorenko, head of operational, investment risks and insurance at EuroChem.
The awards were presented at a virtual ceremony on 14 December. This year a special award for the best Risk Resilience Initiative was decided by a public vote during the ceremony. It was presented to Cristina Martinez, group chief risk officer at Sacyr.
President of FERMA, Dirk Wegener said: “Today we are celebrating the fifth anniversary of these awards that recognise outstanding individuals, teams and initiatives in our profession.
“I want to congratulate all our excellence in risk management winners and nominees on their achievements, as well as the nominees and winners from our partners.
