Wilgens Dorisme
Growing companies shouldn't have to survive a disruption before they find out where they were exposed.
For 25 years, Wilgens has worked inside the risk functions of global financial institutions. Now he helps growing and mid-sized businesses find the operational, technology, and compliance exposure they can't see themselves — before it costs them a client, a contract, or the growth they've worked for.
Results delivered inside enterprise risk leadership roles.
The gap between catching an exposure early and catching it during an audit — or after a loss — is where numbers like these come from.
He didn't set out to become a risk expert.
He didn't come to risk through a textbook — he came to it on a trading floor in 2000, on a derivatives margin desk, learning firsthand what happens when a small control gap goes unnoticed. Twenty-five years across Mizuho Capital Markets, Nomura Securities International, BNY Mellon, Lombard/Vermeg Risk Systems, and Tassat Group — and now a senior risk role at a global bank — have been spent on the same problem at increasing scale: vendor exposure, contract risk, operational continuity, and the gap between what leadership assumes and what's actually happening on the ground. It's the problem a growing business or contractor runs into just before it can afford a full risk department of its own — and the reason he founded AGD Consulting LLC.
"My job as a risk manager is to maintain a proactive threat perspective — staying one step ahead of emerging risk."
Not every risk advisor has actually sat inside the institution.
Built It, Not Just Studied It
25 years inside the risk functions of global financial institutions — not observing controls from the outside, but building and running them under real regulatory pressure. For you, that means advice tested at a scale far beyond your own, not theory.
Stays Through Implementation
A findings deck isn't the deliverable — the fix is. He stays engaged, coordinating specialists, so you're not left holding a report you don't have the internal team to execute.
Sized for You, Not Enterprise
Institutional-grade discipline, without the cost or bureaucracy of a Fortune 500 risk department. Built specifically for businesses that have outgrown informal systems but aren't ready to build a risk department of their own.
The Risk-to-Resilience Approach
Most risk advisors follow a generic audit checklist. This is a named, six-stage framework built specifically for organizations that don't have a mature risk function of their own — a repeatable path from "we think something's wrong" to a fix that's actually in place.
Understand the Operation
See what's actually happening versus what leadership assumes — as-is vs. ideal state.
Anticipate the Exposure
Apply a proactive threat perspective — identify how a vulnerability could be exploited before naming which controls and specialists are needed.
Bring the Data
Quantify what's happening with evidence, not opinion — failed payments, customer complaints, operational hours lost, and the time and effort drained by processes that could be automated.
Prioritize the Risk
Separate material exposure from lower-impact inefficiency.
Build the Roadmap
A sequenced plan with named owners.
Strengthen and Sustain
Stay engaged, coordinate specialists, and help the monitoring hold.
AGD Consulting LLC serves growing and mid-sized organizations that have outgrown informal systems.
The primary focus is business owners and contractors — corporate engagements are considered separately, on a private, selective basis.
Business Owners & Contractors
Companies taking on regulatory, contractual, and technology complexity faster than they've built the risk discipline to match — sized right for institutional-grade thinking without enterprise overhead.
Corporate Teams & Executives
Operations, risk, and compliance leaders who want an outside voice with inside credibility — booked privately, with no public speaking commitments.
Who typically brings him in
A strong fit if two or more of these are true.
Ready to bring these conversations to your room.
Wilgens is available to speak on the following topics — built for the rooms where business owners and contractors actually are: trade associations, contractor networks, and leadership offsites. He's also available for private, onsite sessions with a company's own internal team.
The Proactive Threat Perspective
How growing businesses anticipate exposure before it becomes disruption — and build the muscle to recover fast when it does.
Someone Else's Mistake, Your Liability
What business owners actually need to know about subcontractor and vendor risk before it becomes their exposure.
The Hidden Cost of the Manual Burden
What growing companies quietly lose — in time, trust, and margin — to manual processes and undocumented dependencies.
Closing the Control Gap
A practical framework for evaluating and monitoring vendor and contractor risk before it becomes your risk.

Delivery Partners
Who expand what AGD can deliver
Here's what that partnership actually does for your business.
Add senior operational risk and resilience expertise to client engagements — without building that capability in-house. A specialist you can put in front of your own clients or members without it costing you the relationship, because his job is to strengthen it, not compete for it.
What You Gain
Most companies find their exposure the hard way. Working with Wilgens is how you find it first.
For business owners and contractors, that means protecting what you've personally built — your bonding capacity, your contracts, and your ability to keep growing without a disruption setting you back. The alternative is finding out the hard way: after the audit, after the lost contract, after the client who moved on.
Risk-to-Resilience Session
A focused session for an executive who suspects exposure — a clear read on where you stand and what to do first.
Diagnostic & Assessment
A focused diagnostic that produces your exposure map, followed by a full current/ideal-state assessment, dependency mapping, and roadmap.
Implementation & Ongoing Advisory
Oversight as specialists execute against the findings, with recurring reviews and emerging-risk guidance.
Wilgens leads every engagement — and he doesn't do it alone. He's backed by the AGD Consulting LLC team and its network of technology, cybersecurity, compliance, and project-management specialists, so recommendations get executed, not just delivered.
What the people who've worked with him say.
