Cory is a Partner and Global Head of Project Operations, responsible for driving effective and efficient operations across Control Risks. She leads our strategic evolution across the region and is responsible for the client delivery team.
Her focus is supporting large multinationals as they navigate changing global landscapes. Her clients are frequently looking to reassess existing risk management and resilience systems or build fit for purpose systems, to grow or change their footprint, or to brief their senior leadership on complex matters of risk and geopolitics.
With more than 20 years of experience managing multifaceted risks, Cory’s expertise lies in making complicated issues straightforward and actionable.
Recent engagements include:
- Advising a client who needed to make complex tactical decisions quickly about their operations, based on security situations across a large swathe of the world and under intense time pressure.
- Supporting a client to address increasing activism and insider risk that could impact their senior executives, and a security team struggling to secure risk mitigation agreement from executives. Presenting the risk in a practical and measured way, Cory secured agreement on appropriate and proportionate recommendations.
Prior to joining Control Risks, Cory ran humanitarian operations in conflict and post-conflict environments throughout Africa and the Middle East, including Liberia, Darfur, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Iraq and Haiti. Since joining Control Risks, she has supported clients in Europe, Africa and Asia across a range of our services.
Cory holds an MSc in Humanitarian and Development Theory from Oxford Brookes University and a BA in Foreign Affairs and South Asian Studies from the University of Virginia.
