Risilience Appoints Angela Brown as CEO to Accelerate Climate Risk Analytics Growth
Risilience has announced the appointment of Angela Brown as its new Chief Executive Officer, signaling a major leadership evolution as the company expands its climate and nature risk analytics platform for global enterprises and financial institutions.
Brown, who previously served as Chief Product Officer at Risilience for the last 18 months, succeeds company founder Andrew Coburn. Coburn will transition into the role of Chairman while continuing to guide the company’s long-term scientific and strategic direction.
The leadership transition reflects Risilience’s strategy to combine advanced product innovation with world-class scientific expertise as organizations increasingly prioritize climate resilience, sustainability, and risk intelligence.
Angela Brown to Lead Risilience’s Next Growth Phase
Angela Brown brings nearly two decades of experience in financial services and fintech leadership. Her career includes senior roles at S&P Global and Moody’s, where she developed expertise in analytics, technology platforms, and enterprise risk solutions.
Since joining Risilience, Brown has played a key role in expanding the company’s product strategy, scaling its client base, and driving AI-powered innovation across its technology offerings.
Under her leadership, Risilience’s award-winning Riise platform has evolved into a decision-intelligence solution that helps businesses quantify climate and nature-related risks in financial terms. The platform enables organizations to better assess supply chain disruptions, macroeconomic volatility, and long-term sustainability challenges.
“As companies face growing pressure to manage climate and nature-related risks, organizations need clearer insights and faster decision-making tools,” Brown said while discussing the company’s future direction.
Founder Andrew Coburn Transitions to Chairman
Founder Andrew Coburn will remain closely involved with Risilience as Chairman, focusing on the company’s scientific modeling capabilities and long-term research initiatives.
Coburn is widely recognized for his expertise in business risk and also serves as Chief Scientific Advisor at the Centre for Risk Studies.
He stated that the transition is designed to strengthen Risilience’s market focus while accelerating innovation and growth.
According to Coburn, the combination of Brown’s product leadership and the company’s scientific foundations positions Risilience to expand its global impact and support more organizations navigating complex climate and financial risks.
