Kathleen A. Graham is the CEO of The HQ Companies, helping boards and companies with their human capital operational and financial strategies; a director at the Chicago Finance Exchange; and a corporate member of the Thirty Percent Coalition.

Nir Kossovsky is CEO of Steel City Re, helping boards, through reputation risk strategies and insurance, provide effective oversight and meet the value protection and compliance expectations of their shareholders.

Denise Williamee is an executive member of the board of Steel City Re and vice president of corporate services and helps risk-focused directors and managers add value across boardrooms, C-suites, and operational silos through reputation resilience.
