Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – 2026 – Swiss GRC participated as a Platinum Sponsor at the G[P]RC Summit 2026, held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The summit convened senior leaders, regulators, and practitioners from across the globe to explore how organizations can strengthen governance, risk, compliance, and resilience in an increasingly complex and interconnected business environment.
The Riyadh edition of the G[P]RC Summit 2026 took place at a pivotal moment for organizations across the Kingdom, as Saudi Arabia continues to advance its ambitious Vision 2030 agenda. Accelerated digital transformation, heightened regulatory expectations, and growing interdependencies across technology, supply chains, and third parties are reshaping how enterprises approach risk and strategic execution. Against this backdrop, Swiss GRC contributed to key discussions on aligning GRC with business objectives and long-term performance.
As part of its Platinum engagement, Swiss GRC co-sponsored the summit alongside StorIT, reinforcing a shared commitment to advancing integrated, outcome-driven approaches to governance, risk management, and operational resilience across the Middle East region.
During the summit, Rajeev Dutt, General Manager – MEA & APAC, Swiss GRC, delivered a keynote session titled «Enabling Strategic Risk & Resilience.» His presentation emphasized the shift from reactive, compliance-driven GRC models toward integrated, strategy-aligned operating frameworks that support confident decision-making in volatile environments.
Framing today’s operating landscape through the VUCA lens-volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity-Rajeev highlighted that disruption is no longer an exception but a constant. He stressed that strategic risk is the category most likely to generate enterprise-level impact and therefore must be explicitly linked to organizational objectives. Without this linkage, risk management risks becoming an exercise in measuring activity rather than managing impact.
Swiss GRC was represented in Riyadh by a strong leadership team, underscoring the company’s strategic commitment to the Middle East. Rajeev Dutt was joined by Babu Manickan, Head of Presales – MEA & APAC (GRC), and Yahya Mohamed Mao, Chief Marketing Officer, who successfully represented Swiss GRC on the ground. They were accompanied by Besfort Kuqi, Chief Executive Officer, Gentian Ajeti, Chief Customer & Commercial Officer. This strong leadership presence reinforced Swiss GRC’s long-term focus on the region while highlighting its growing global footprint and ability to address diverse GRC needs worldwide.
Swiss GRC’s Platinum participation at the G[P]RC Summit 2026 in Riyadh marks another important milestone in the company’s journey toward establishing itself as a global leader in the GRC space. Through its co-sponsorship with StorIT and active engagement with regulators, industry experts, and decision-makers, Swiss GRC continues to elevate conversations around GRC best practices, regulatory compliance, and strategic risk management. As demand for integrated GRC solutions continues to grow, Swiss GRC remains well positioned to support organizations in navigating complexity with confidence, resilience, and strategic foresight.
