CTRM Radio

In this episode of the CTRM Radio Podcast, Gary M. Vasey sits down with the team from CubeLogic—Tom Lloyd, Zachary Golant, and Kieran Child—to examine how surging market volatility, geopolitical disruptions, and liquidity pressures are reshaping enterprise risk management.

They explore why traditional spreadsheet models and siloed systems can no longer keep pace with today's volatile markets, and how modern analytical engines provide the speed, observability, and cross-department visibility needed to manage both market and credit risk in unified portfolios.

Key Topics Covered:

Today's volatile commodity environment: freight bottlenecks, geopolitical shifts, and storage dynamics

The convergence of market risk, credit risk, and liquidity management

Stress testing and valuation engines: moving from periodic reports to intraday recalculations

Demystifying the "black box": bringing transparency and trade-level observability to Potential Future Exposure (PFE)

Speed of deployment: integrating modular enterprise engines in weeks rather than months

The role of AI in scenario modelling and downstream risk reporting

In this episode of CTRM Radio, we talk with Value Creed about RADAR, its AI-powered operational intelligence platform designed for energy and commodity businesses. We explore how RADAR connects data across E/CTRM, ERP, and other systems to deliver KPI monitoring, automated reconciliation, logistics visibility, and exception management. The discussion also covers real-world efficiency improvements, RADAR Maps, and how AI is helping organizations turn fragmented data into actionable insights without replacing their existing systems.
