Speakers
Founder of The Risk Insider, CIA, PMP
Matthew Oleniuk is a former public-sector senior executive with more than 15 years of experience
providing oversight of major government projects — environments where optimistic reporting and
political pressure routinely hide emerging problems. He has seen firsthand how serious issues stay
invisible to leaders, and how splintered team dynamics can quietly put a project on the path to
collapse.
Through The Risk Insider, Matthew shows leaders how to see the truth earlier, surface what
dashboards miss, and lead complex projects with clarity, confidence, and fewer late-stage surprises.
