About

RiskInk’s story began through the experiences of founder John Thackeray, who regularly came across risk documents that were poorly written and badly structured. Principally, this was the result of the subject matter expert being unable to write and articulate the subject matter. This culminated in a plethora of rewrites, leading to a loss of authority, authenticity and reliability.

RiskInk was built as a specialized boutique risk documentation consultancy, leveraging John Thackeray’s risk and compliance expertise with his creative writing skills and a passion for his trade. As a senior risk executive at Citigroup, Deutsche AG and Société Générale, John has perfected the art of producing risk documentation that no other consultancy, big or small, can deliver.

As technology and the regulatory environment change, RiskInk is at the forefront, delving into research and writing white papers in everything there is to know about risk documentation. We take Shakespearean pride in delivering your prolific documentation that will stand the test of any and all who read them, with minimal reviews and revisions.
