Willaert said: "During my presidency at IFRIMA, I want to focus on strengthening and reinforcing the dialogue and cooperation among risk management associations worldwide - so ensuring coherence in the actions and development of risk management globally.

"To do this, I will build on my experience as president of FERMA since 2015 representing a network of 22 associations in 21 European countries."
