The Risk Management Association at Fisher College of Business in partnership with The Risk Institute held a case competition earlier this month which exposed its participants to the technical aspects of risk management while also developing their critical thinking and presentation skills.
Seven teams competed in the two-week competition, which culminated in presentations to an expert panel of judges: Nick Kaufman, Head Risk Manager at Battelle; Dr. George Pinteris, Associate Professor of Finance at The Ohio State University; Dr. Jay Wellman, Associate Professor of Finance; Daniel Chizever, Senior Director of Risk Management at Abercrombie & Fitch; Jonathan Caruso, Risk Manager at Express.
The winning team included John LaVange, junior; Sam Bernardo, senior; Zhe Wang, senior. Awards were also given out for Best Speaker — George Valcarcel and Carly Smith — and Best Q&A — Ryan Patrick.
