About Terence Lee

I am passionate about risk management, and I truly believe our software and our company make a game-changing difference for our customers.I\'ve spent >17 years in the GRC software space – partnering with customers, building teams, and learning what actually works when organizations automate risk management. I wa the first hire for Protecht to build the NA region. The best conversations I have are about the real challenges: siloed data, audit fatigue, boards asking tough questions, and teams stretched too thin.My career has spanned enterprise architecture and process analysis, leading global sales teams at companies like Origami, MetricStream, SAI360, and Modulo. What ties it all together is a relentless focus on helping organizations see risk not as a barrier, but as a strategic enabler.Protecht is trusted by more than users worldwide to confidently managerisk. Founded by risk practitioners for risk practitioners, our platform helpsorganizations:• Identify and mitigate risk across the enterprise• Manage compliance obligations and audit programs with clarity• Predict risk incidents through intelligent key risk indicators• Enable business continuity management and operational resilience• Manage third-party vendors and supplier risk effectivelyWhat sets Protecht apart is our exceptionally high customer retention rate - atestament to both our platform and our world-class support team. I\'ve alwaysbelieved that what happens after the purchase is what truly matters. What makes Protecht different is our perspective on the lifecycle of risk. We believe risk is always in motion – an aptly named concept called Risk In Motion – and while your organization may or may not experience the risk incident, you can prepare, address, treat, and improve consistently by using a common approach to risk and control libraries, RCSAs, KRIs, attestations, issues, incidents, and audit findings. Before joining Protecht, I doubled a global risk sales team in 14 months at Origami, led business resilience strategy at SAI, and built GRC practices from the ground up at software companies. I\'m a Certified Business Continuity Professional (CBCP) and have worked with hundreds of organizations across banking, insurance, manufacturing, healthcare, and beyond.When I\'m not helping organizations transform their risk programs, you\'ll find me ata baseball game (lifelong fan), out for a run, or spending time with my incredible family (including our dog and our crazy cat). I love networking and meeting like-minded risk-passionate professionals. Lets talk!
