Michael Rasmussen is an internationally recognized authority, thought leader, and pioneer in the disciplines of governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC). With over 30 years of experience, he is globally known for defining and shaping GRC strategy, processes, and technology.

For this, he is widely acknowledged as the “Father of GRC.”

A trusted advisor to boards, executives, and professionals around the world, Michael has dedicated his career to helping organizations design and implement effective GRC strategies that are aligned with business objectives. His work empowers organizations to be more effective, efficient, resilient, and agile. He is a sought-after keynote speaker, author, and advisor, with his thought leadership influencing legislation, regulatory frameworks, and corporate best practices globally.
