APPOINTED ROLE HOLDERKrista Boutilier
Risk and business resilience
This seat links technical and commercial risk to practical controls, responsibility and financial protection. It should ensure a promising prototype is not treated as a production-ready service without evaluation of its failure and liability exposure.
Core responsibilities
- Maintain oversight of significant technology, operational, contractual, physical-site, privacy and third-party risks across BTG activities.
- Review appropriate insurance questions for hardware research, FarmNodes, software delivery, field demonstrations and community technology education.
- Examine incidents and near misses, including loss of data, system downtime, unauthorized access, defective results and unsafe equipment operation.
- Coordinate risks and mitigation plans with executive management, financial leadership, legal/privacy review and relevant research directors.
- Assess business continuity needs, backup and recovery arrangements, outsourced providers and the effect of distributed infrastructure failure.
- Review how proposed Exchange and Bridge activities could change professional, cyber, contractual, consumer or regulated-service exposure.
Areas of oversight
- Enterprise risk register and material exposure trends.
- Insurance suitability, coverage gaps and claims preparedness.
- Operational continuity and tested recovery plans.
- Safeguarding of participants and volunteers in Boundary Tech Generation programmes.
Reports and practical outcomes
- An understandable corporate risk register with owners and mitigation plans.
- Coverage and contract-risk review recommendations.
- Continuity and incident-response priorities for executive action.
- Board recommendations where risks exceed acceptable limits.
Works with

- What exposure remains after controls, contracts and insurance are considered?
