Damien McGovern is founder and CEO of Compliance and Risks Ltd. (C&R). Mr. McGovern qualified as a lawyer and spent a considerable portion of his career working for Deloitte & Touche in Europe. It was in this capacity that he identified the need for a dedicated compliance knowledge management system (CKMS). Consequently, he began to draft a blueprint for his Compliance to Product application in 2001. His CKMS concept has been tested and validated by C&R's clients and is now fully operational in several sites. C&R has its headquarters in Cork, Ireland, while its software development team is located in Northern California and in Ireland. C&R's team of governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) domain experts includes lawyers in Ireland, the UK, Europe, and the US.
