Riewerts and Reyes on why siloed risk functions are breaking down — and how AI, integration, and “risk intelligence” are reshaping life sciences compliance.


Quote by Brian Riewerts of PwC discussing the importance of a connected system of risk intelligence in organizations. Features a smiling man in a suit.

In a conversation with GRIP’s Kevin Kinsella, PwC’s Brian Riewerts and Michael Reyes outline how life sciences companies can move from fragmented risk management to enterprise‑wide intelligence – and why the next five years will separate risk leaders from laggards. They covered:

  • siloed compliance investments and why risk effectiveness remains hard to measure;
  • the shift toward managing the full lifecycle of a risk;
  • fragmentation across compliance, quality, privacy, and third‑party oversight;
  • the concept and value of the Integrated Risk Dividend;
  • identifying stranded costs across people, processes, technology, and controls;
  • how integrated data unlocks better decision‑making;
  • AI’s role in predictive, end‑to‑end risk management;
  • no‑regrets moves to begin integration;
  • cultural signals that integration is working.
