Global risk manager
Facebook
Menlo Park, CA
In the past few years, Facebook has made great leaps in connecting even more people around the world and addressing social issues, although the social network’s expansion projects have occurred alongside market changes and contentious issues that pose increasing risks, from net neutrality to the spread of fake news. All of these issues have made Helen Chue’s position as Facebook’s global risk manager more indispensable than ever.
“Facebook is constantly evolving and expanding its programs to further the mission of making the world more open and connected,” Chue says. “[This means] spotlighting content, understanding and finding solutions to address the risk exposures from a variety of lenses, such as cyber, business interruption, media and regulatory [concerns].”
For the last few years, Chue has found that risk concerns are inevitably linked to “the ever morphing political and regulatory landscape [and] how the changes affect the business.” This has compelled Chue and her team to always stay ahead in anticipating disruptions, while doing their best to select broker and insurer partners who are equipped to thoroughly understand the nature of Facebook’s business and respond with comprehensive programs and coverage.
