Dr. Stephanie Hughes has spent 26 years developing her expertise in Risk Mitigation.
After starting out in government intelligence, Dr. Stephanie Hughes understood the importance of conducting high quality, comprehensive, background checks to help organizations lower their risks.
Stephanie received her BS in Marketing and an MBA in International Business from St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia, PA. She received her Ph.D. in International Business and Strategic Management from Temple University in Philadelphia.
Dr. Hughes has spent the past 12 years teaching business while pioneering vital research on subjects relevant to the Background Check Industry. She is extensively published in the area of risk mitigation and threat management. A number of her publications are available in the Resources section or by contacting us.
In 2005, as a PHD and tenured university professor, Dr. Hughes completed research for her whitepaper, "The Cost of Scandal", examining the widespread impact of failing to manage risk in corporations and higher education. Following its publication, Dr. Hughes became convinced of a need for higher quality background checks and better tools for protecting from risks that are ongoing. It was during this time that Dr. Hughes founded RiskAware with the single desire to provide the most comprehensive risk management services available. Soon after, RiskAware launched its Red Flag Incident Reporting and Management System to help organizations track and respond to risks and threats in real time.
