Inside the Margins Podcast

Risk management is often invisible until something goes wrong. But the best risk leaders aren't just gatekeepers—they're strategic partners navigating complexity at the highest levels.

That's the focus of Inside the Margins, our new podcast exploring how senior risk professionals operate at the intersection of markets, infrastructure, and regulation.

We're interested in the real conversations:

-How do you set risk appetite in a fast-growing FinTech versus a traditional bank?

-What does escalation actually look like when you spot something the business do- esn't want to hear?

-How do you make decisions under volatility with incomplete data?

-What did you learn managing risk through actual market stress that no textbook teaches?

These aren't talking heads. They're practitioners with Board accountability, regulatory scrutiny, and real capital on the line.

Is ESG just compliance… or is it financial risk hiding in plain sight?

In this episode of Inside the Margins, Matthew Komos sits down with Richard Branco, Head of Risk Management Solutions at Climcycle, to break down how climate and ESG risks directly impact credit risk, loan losses, capital allocation, and portfolio strategy.
