Giovanni Aracu

Giovanni Aracu is Sales Director, EMEA at Drova. He works with organisations that need to lift governance and resilience without slowing the business down, especially when regulatory expectations and internal change are moving at the same time.

Giovanni helps teams use enterprise risk management as a practical change tool. His focus is on building the risk culture, ownership, and reporting rhythm that makes new frameworks stick, not just pass review. He has supported clients through the real work of implementation, using both top-down and bottom-up approaches to embed risk intent into day-to-day decision making.

He brings five years of sales experience and three years of GRC domain expertise, shaped across sectors including financial services, manufacturing, retail, pharmaceutical, transport and logistics, and oil and gas.

Giovanni has helped several organisations kickstart risk programmes across the first line and track progress in less than half a year, proving that momentum is possible when risk is designed for real operators.

He writes about risk culture, UK regulatory expectations, operational resilience, and how boards and leadership teams can use risk to create clarity during change.
