The Federation of European Risk Management Associations (FERMA) has announced that its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Secretary General, Typhaine Beaupérin, will step down from the roles in June after serving over nine years at the firm.
Beaupérin was appointed CEO in December 2015 and Secretary General in 2019. She has played a key role in shaping the organisation’s strategic direction, supporting the interests of member associations at the EU and international levels.
As CEO, she worked on enhancing FERMA’s advocacy capacity while strengthening its voice within EU institutions.
Beaupérin also led the development of FERMA’s EU Policy Manifestos, setting out the Federation’s priorities for EU policymakers, and transformed the FERMA Risk Manager Survey from a European to a global initiative.
FERMA has begun its succession planning and will announce the appointment of a new CEO in due course, and a new Secretary General will also be appointed.
Charlotte Hedemark, President of FERMA, commented, “We are truly grateful to Typhaine for her constant commitment to FERMA’s mission of representing the European risk management community. Over the past nine years, she has worked tirelessly to advance our strategic goals, enhance our EU influence, grow our network, and shape FERMA into the agile, forward-thinking organisation it is today.
“Looking ahead, FERMA’s ability to empower and connect its members and to extend its influence is stronger than ever, and our commitment to their interests remains steadfast. Our next CEO will take the helm of a Federation with clear strategic direction, a strong EU presence, and a firm mandate from its member associations.”
Beaupérin added, “FERMA’s mission has always been to raise the visibility and influence of the risk management profession. It has been an honour to contribute to this mission working alongside an exceptional team and to represent the risk management community on both EU and global stages.
“I would like to thank the FERMA Board for their tremendous support throughout my tenure, as well as the member associations themselves. I am especially grateful to the Presidents I’ve worked with—Charlotte Hedemark, Dirk Wegener, and Jo Willaert—as well as former Secretary General Gilbert Canameras, who have all been invaluable mentors. I look forward to watching FERMA continue to strengthen its voice and empower the profession.”
