Marilyn Boter
@mariaeaboter
I build enterprise risk and business continuity frameworks that help organizations scale safely.
What I'm looking for
I transform uncertainty into strategic advantage by building risk and resilience frameworks for organizations navigating growth, regulation, and disruption.
At First Philippine Holdings, I institutionalized quarterly ERM across diversified subsidiaries and built a group-wide BCM program, supporting risk-informed decisions across energy, manufacturing, construction, real estate, healthcare, and industrial services. I led risk assessments for six new ventures, facilitated crisis-management huddles for C-suite stakeholders, and delivered integrated continuity planning and executive reporting.
My Big 4 experience at EY spans forensic investigations, anti-corruption reviews, banking risk, financial audits, AML assessments, and regulatory compliance. I now advise startups and renewable-energy ventures on licensing, audit readiness, project finance, cash flow, and cost risk.
