Kyle Bianco views the world through a risk-informed lens. As senior manager of TVA Enterprise Risk Management, he immerses himself in the “what-if” scenarios and makes sure there’s a plan for every possible outcome.
It’s a difficult job, distilled into one strong mantra: “We help manage uncertainty,” Bianco said.
“I work for TVA, yes, but I’m also a resident of the Valley region,” he said. “What I do for work directly affects me and my family. Risks that could impact the business ultimately impact me.”
The topic of risk goes hand in hand with business planning because risk not only informs strategy – it helps write the game plan.
Understanding vulnerabilities allows TVA to allocate resources, ensuring the enterprise can continue to serve uninterrupted power to the region.
But Bianco knows the culture of risk. It’s a moving target that requires continuous improvement.
“The environment of risk is always evolving,” he said. “And new risks are always emerging. But I’m a problem solver at heart, so this job is a good fit for me.”
