Our Mission
At Aquilae Consulting, our mission is simple: to guide organisations toward sustainable success by embedding governance, risk management, and compliance into the heart of their business strategy. We believe that these elements are not just operational necessities but key drivers of long-term growth, resilience, and agility. We work with you to build frameworks that align with your goals, helping you navigate the complexities of today’s ever-evolving business landscape with confidence.
Our Vision
We envision a future where businesses operate with clarity, resilience, and purpose. Aquilae Consulting aims to be a trusted partner for organisations striving to be agile and risk-aware, balancing growth with governance to ensure long-term success. Through our deep expertise and global reach, we aspire to create lasting change, helping companies not only survive in challenging markets but thrive by turning risks into strategic opportunities
Aquilae, the Latin word for Eagle, embodies our purpose: a sharp vision in identifying risks and opportunities, and surpassing the status quo.
We analyse risk comprehensively through multiple lenses. From foundational and operational perspectives to the C-suite and boards, through the complete value chain, and broader macroeconomic environment.
Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) involves integrating with strategy and performance. Aquilae enables you to integrate risk considerations into strategy-setting processes and in driving performance.
We maintain a holistic vision across all risk categories, leaning on our interdisciplinary team of experts to achieve this. Our imperative is to surpass identifying surface level risks to uncover the real risks pertaining organisations - and the opportunities that come with finding these. We don't see risk governance as a check box or bottleneck problem solver. We see it as an advantage that may reshape organisational strategy.
While we expertly identify enterprise-wide risks and assist with governance, compliance and assurance requirements, what sets us apart is our holistic risk lens and mitigation approach. Drawing on the diverse expertise of our team, each with over 30 years of experience in their respective fields, what we uncover is market leading.
