In this episode of Profiles in Risk, I spoke with Kurt Thoennessen. We discussed the Private Client/High Net Worth Space, his involvement with the [PRMA](https://www.privateriskmanagement.org/), and Kurt was gracious enough to provide a demo (watch the video) of the RiskRevu platform & why he felt the compelling need to create it.
