Mirka Clavel – Founder & CEO

Mirka Clavel is a risk management executive and visionary founder with more than 25 years of experience operating at the intersection of regulation, operations, and strategy. Her career was built inside highly regulated financial institutions, where she worked under the scrutiny of agencies including the OCC, FDIC, FINRA, and the Federal Reserve—designing programs, leading remediation efforts, and navigating some of the most complex risk environments.

But what defined her career wasn’t just what she built—it was what she saw.

Across organizations, Mirka observed the same fundamental challenges: risk management had become reactive, fragmented, and overly complex. Programs were designed to satisfy regulatory expectations, yet often failed to provide leaders with clarity, alignment, or actionable direction. Teams were burdened with process, while critical decisions were made without fully integrated risk insight.

She knew it could be done differently.

Mirka founded PIKA RMS to fundamentally rethink how organizations approach risk. Her vision was clear: risk management should not slow organizations down—it should enable them to move with confidence. It should not live in silos—it should align leadership. And it should not produce reports—it should drive decisions.

This vision became the foundation of the PIKA YOKE™ methodology—a structured, human-centered approach designed to simplify complexity, connect risk to strategy, and translate ambiguity into clear, actionable outcomes.

Mirka’s expertise spans operational risk, information risk, third-party risk, and business continuity, but her impact goes beyond disciplines. She brings the ability to transform how organizations think about risk—shifting it from a compliance obligation to a strategic capability.

Today, as Founder and CEO, Mirka leads PIKA RMS with a singular focus: helping organizations build resilience, gain clarity, and operate with purpose in an increasingly complex world. Through her leadership, clients don’t just manage risk—they leverage it to strengthen performance, align decision-making, and create lasting advantage.
