Program on Relationship Capital Risks this Friday

Mary Adams hosts the monthly call of the Intangible Asset Finance Society on the first Friday of every month. This month’s call on Friday, April 3rd at 12 noon EDT is entitled: IMPOSING PERFORMANCE (BEHAVIOR) REQUIREMENTS ON A COMMERCIAL PARTNER:

Cadbury Schweppes, Kellogg, Mattel – all iconic firms whose products, cash flows, and reputations have been sullied by their business partners through ethical breaches including melamine in milk, salmonella in peanut butter, and lead paint.

In a presentation provocatively titled, “Imposing performance (behavior) requirements on a commercial partner,” Robert Rittereiser, Chair of the IAFS Ethics and Sustainability Committee builds a compelling case for a robust global trade information network.

Bob is expert in the value of mitigating the damaging effects of third party risk. Prior to taking the helm at Zhi Verden, his career included tours as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer of Merrill Lynch & Co., President and CEO of EF Hutton & Co., President, a Trustee of the DBL Liquidating Trust, CEO of Nationar, a New York Banking Services Company and, most recently, Chairman and CEO of Gruntal Financial, LLC. Mr. Rittereiser has served a Director of several industry, public and private Boards of Directors. He is currently Managing Director for 3DRS, a security and risk advisory firm, and is Chairman of Steel City Re, a corporate risk and reputation management business.
