There has been one writer/blogger/consultant active in the risk management space I've been following and reading for years. His name is Matthew Leitch. You can find more information about him on his Linked-In page. Early risk management research I remember the early days of risk management,

I adapted the color scheme of the blog and the entire exploring the black box website. For those unfamiliar with this scheme, it comes courtesy of an amazing designer named Ethan Schoonover. His solarized scheme, of which I am using the light version, is beautiful. In addition, it makes sense
