Yeşim was a participant in our second guided study cohort dedicated exclusively to women executives and board members. About the overall program and that experience, she said, “The DCRO Institute Certificate in Risk Governance^® program and the work with the cohort under the lead of Dr. Andrea Bonime-Blanc has been a very deep and impactful experience; full of learning, challenge, and support of a cohort group, high-level discussions,” She continued, “My initial expectations have been overachieved, thanks to the great design, rich content and rewarding teamwork.”
