 Topics 
David Hancock
Head of Projects Risk at Transport for London
David Hancock will provide a general introduction of risk and values considering tame, messy and wicked risk leadership. This approach to risk works remarkably well for industries such as the marine industry or complex projects.

The marine industry is a curious case for system risk and is an excellent candidate for messy and wicked risk leadership.
Emil Pena
Executive Director, Energy Safety Institute
Director, Corrosion Center at Rice University
With the stand down of NASA in the Houston area, there are a large number of risk professionals that can be redeployed into the risk discipline of the energy and water infrastructure with a first focus on deepwater infrastructure. The Greater Houston Partnership and Rice University are taking the lead on this effort.
Don Frost
Connecticut Maritime Association
Marine Money
Don Frost brings a wealth of experience in terms of strategy and real world action with respect to shipping. His current perch at the Connecticut Maritime Association and Marine Money provide a distinctly different view than a purely technical version.
Jack Devanney
Director, Center for Tankship Excellence
Director, Hellespont Shipping Corporation (retired)
No stranger to controversy or the shipping business, Jack Devanney has been actively working for safer ships, safer systems and a thorough internal examination of the structure of the marine industry.
