About Us
Founded in 2026, BRAID was born out of an imperative to make hazard and risk science accessible, relevant, and actionable not just to help clients transfer risk but also to help them grow their operational continuity. Our founder, Delphine Fitzenz started the company with a simple yet powerful idea: to co-create bespoke solutions for businesses and local authorities that are as unique as the clients we serve.
As we hone in on specific client needs, we will leverage our standing in the research community and with public institutions and our own capacity to collaborate to science projects to help steer science advances. Our goal is to foster long-term partnerships built on trust, integrity, and a shared vision of what success means in a changing world. We are dedicated to providing actionable strategies and support that drive real, measurable impact.
Our Team
Delphine Fitzenz, PhD
Founder & CEO
I am a geophysics engineer by training and I got a PhD from the Federal Institute of Technology of Zurich (ETHZ). After 10 years in academia, when I felt ready to have my work used every day towards more resilience, I joined a risk model vendor. Over the last 13 years, I’ve helped (re-)insurers assess their risk, plan their underwriting guidelines, assess their solvency requirement by contributing R&D to risk models and by communicating with the risk transfer industry. I have also represented the industry as users of publicly funded hazard projects and I have been a scientific and technical advisor to National Seismic Hazard Mapping projects. I have learned a lot about business and about risk transfer and the public/private interface. Central to my work now is the notion of operational continuity.
