Today began our second day in the Risk Management division. We started off the day listening to a webinar about risk management sales. Pauline told us that SAS offers many webinars and live streams that any of their employees can listen for self-education. After this, we had the opportunity to meet with Kim Bentley. Kim is the executive assistant to Troy, the VP of the Risk division. She talked to us about her unique career journey and how she ended up at SAS. She worked on Wallstreet and has a masters in music. Her main responsibilities today include helping Troy with his travel schedule, managing events, and everything in between. After meeting with Kim, we went back to Pauline’s office. She had her weekly call with her team and boss via Skype. During the meeting, each of Pauline’s team members gave their weekly update on what they’ve been working on. Once the meeting was over, we headed over to R for lunch with Jess Mayo who also had 2 CA students shadowing her. After lunch, Saavan and I began a Risk Management research project during which we searched for current trends in Risk globally. We worked on this for the rest of the day and sent Pauline a document with links to articles before departing after day 7.
