Data analytics provider Verisk has strengthened its geopolitical expertise with the addition of General Vincent Brooks to its board of directors.
Brooks served in the US Army for 42 years from his entry into West Point until his 2019 retirement as a four-star general.
Most recently, Brooks was in command of all U.S. Forces in Korea, where he led the United Nations Command, and the Republic of Korea – US Combined Forces Command, which comprised more than 650,000 Korean and American soldiers.
Currently, he’s a principal with WestExec Advisors, a D.C.-based advisory firm that provides geopolitical expertise to businesses operating in volatile international environments.
Brooks is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
“General Brooks is a change-maker with more than four decades of leadership experience in some of the world’s most complex and challenging situations,” said Scott G. Stephenson, Verisk chairman, president and CEO.
“Verisk ensures our customers in more than 30 countries are equipped to mitigate risks ranging from geopolitical matters to natural disasters to cyber threats,” he continued.
“As a member of our board, General Brooks will reinforce Verisk’s culture of innovation and ensure we continue to develop leading edge advancements that solve our customers’ toughest challenges–wherever they are in the world.”
