Risk intelligence innovator Supply Wisdom has raised $14 million in new funding. The company, which made its Finovate debut at FinovateFall 2022 in New York, also introduced a new CEO, former Chief Operating Officer Jenna Wells. Finovate readers will recall our interview with Wells from earlier this year, in which she discussed the challenge of managing third-party risk in financial services.
“I’m honored to step into this new role during such a pivotal time for our company and the global business community as there is clearly an increased need for strong risk management,” Wells said in a statement announcing both the investment and her new status as Supply Wisdom CEO.
“As both a risk practitioner and leader at Supply Wisdom, I’ve seen firsthand how our AI-powered platform transforms how organizations manage risk across their entire supply chain ecosystem. I’m excited to support Supply Wisdom in continuing to provide comprehensive, predictive risk intelligence that enables businesses to act proactively and confidently in an increasingly complex risk landscape.”
