About Jared Brinck

I lead global third-party risk, compliance, and procurement programs that make organizations stronger, safer, and more efficient. My experience spans life sciences, technology, and telecommunications, giving me a unique ability to bridge science, compliance, and enterprise governance.I started my career managing GLP/CLIA-compliant genomics labs in Seattle and Shanghai, where I saw firsthand the importance of quality, compliance, and precision in clinical environments. That foundation has stayed with me as I’ve grown into enterprise leadership roles, helping teams navigate complex risks while enabling innovation.Today, I partner with executives, legal, R&D, audit, procurement, and compliance leaders to design and scale global third-party risk programs. Developing capabilities such as AI-driven due diligence and monitoring, and simplified policies so stakeholders can act on risk instead of being buried in process.What drives me is building programs that don’t just “check the box” but actually enable better business outcomes: stronger governance, faster decisions, reduced exposure, and greater trust across the enterprise.Key areas of expertise:• Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) and Governance• Procurement Policy, Supplier Diversity, and ESG Risk• Privacy and Data Protection (CIPP/US, CIPT certified)• Cross-Functional Leadership (Procurement, Legal, Compliance, R&D, Audit, Commercial)• Program Innovation (AI-driven due diligence, automated workflows, risk monitoring)• Life Sciences & Clinical Compliance Background
