FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Interos and Aravo Awarded 2025 Excellence Awards by Third Party Risk Association Monday, March 24, 2025 Interos and Aravo Named Third Party Risk Association's (TPRA) 2025 Excellence Award Winners in the Categories of Risk Rating/Risk Intelligence and TPRM Platform ANKENY, IOWA — MARCH 24, 2025 — Last week, the Third Party Risk Association (TPRA) announced their 2025 winners for the Excellence Awards, a sub-category of their Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) Service Provider Innovator Award. “These organizations are constantly pushing boundaries, developing forward-thinking solutions, and streamlining risk management processes,” said Julie Gaiaschi, CEO and Co-founder of TPRA, during the award announcement speech. “They also empower practitioners to think smarter, react faster, and provide efficiencies in assessing, mitigating, and monitoring third party risk.” To celebrate TPRM service providers’ relentless dedication and industry-transforming contributions, TPRA established the Innovator Award in 2022, creating the new Excellence Award sub-categories in 2025. TPRA had a total of 30 nominations for the award this year in the categories of GRC/TPRM Platform, Risk Ratings/Intelligence Tools, and TPRM Services. Seven organizations were chosen as finalists, with two organizations, Aravo and Interos , named as Excellence Award winners in their respective tool categories. Aravo , the TPRM Platform Excellence Award winner, uses their AI engine to collaborate with multiple risk intelligence partners to enable customers to access authorized information as their primary information and assessment vehicle. This “Intelligence First” approach shifts risk assessments away from questionnaires towards real-time intelligence integrations, focusing on actual evidence and reports obtained and comparing it to control frameworks. The Excellence Award winner for Risk Rating/Intelligence, Interos , is redefining supplier resilience through AI-powered, real-time visibility. Their platform allows you to anticipate disruptions, ensuring programs move from reactive to proactive and predictive. For example, they allow you to see the impact of tariffs on global trade and your supply chain. To learn more about this program and its winners, visit https://www.tprassociation.org/innovator-award . ### The Third Party Risk Association was created out of a necessity to build a community of like-minded third party risk professionals to allow for the sharing of best practices, exchanging of ideas, and influencing of an industry. This organization is a 501(c)(6) not-for-profit.

Leadership Characteristics Merav is always willing to listen, open to learning, keen to teach, and hungry to achieve. Leadership Challenges Merav's main leadership challenge was to locate the very precise team members who would strive to develop with similar professional concepts and personal aspirations as herself so that they could create an effective work engine, capable of leaving their mark. Key Take-a-ways "My favorite part of TPRM is the challenging moment in which I see the sudden change of expression in a CEO's eyes, when he/she realizes that TPRM is not a pain for the organization, but rather - a solution." Fun Fact In her spare time, Merav volunteers in various hospitals–in the Emergency Ward and the Children's Wards–where she can provide a mere smile or a comforting shoulder. To her surprise, many times these really make a world of difference to patients in pain, fear, and despair.

Leadership Characteristics "As a naturally curious individual, I constantly seek to expand my knowledge and learn new things. Sometimes, this means saying, "I don't know, let's find out together." Or recognizing that collaborating with others is critical to finding the best solution. I want to lead by example, and by admitting my own limitations, I can create a safe environment where others feel comfortable embracing a mindset of continuous improvement and growth. I also adhere to the principle that is its unnecessary to cling to a mistake just because it’s yours. If something isn't working, don't waste time agonizing; put your energy into fixing it instead." Leadership Challenges "I am a huge fan of simplicity and practicality, anything that is over engineered or needlessly complex frustrates me. Throughout my career, I have frequently been given instructions to implement processes or initiatives that didn't seem to be thoroughly planned out or well considered beforehand. I haven't always found it easy to navigate these situations but learning which battles to fight can be a game-changer. While some may see pushing back as problematic, I've found that sometimes you must trust your instincts and speak up vs. going along to get along. Honestly, it took a fair amount of time and numerous failed attempts before I was able to correctly identify which battles were worth fighting and how to approach them more constructively. This involved adopting a collaborative mindset, respecting the opinions and views of others, and focusing on achieving the best possible outcome, even if that isn't the outcome I most prefer." Key Take-a-ways "Interestingly, the challenges and demands of TPRM can feel painfully familiar to women who have been subjected to traditional gender roles that frequently demand rampant multitasking, a lot of emotional labor, and constantly attending to the needs of others while attempting to balance life's demands. Non-TPRM professionals often find it challenging to comprehend the intricacy of this practice. TPRM professionals are not only expected to be experts in risk management but also excel in process design, project management, relationship management, analysis, and regulatory compliance. And undertake additional other unofficial responsibilities such as being an auditor, facilitator, teacher, coach, and sometimes even a counselor. And as much as I hate gender stereotypes and do my best to avoid perpetuating them, it is a fact that many women, me included, have encountered significant obstacles in the workplace. These challenges often involve being undervalued, overworked, underrepresented, and lacking access to essential resources to perform their jobs effectively. Although TPRM can be a challenging job, as a woman it presented me with the unexpected and somewhat rare opportunity to work with a broad range of stakeholders and demonstrate my diverse skillset every day. There were always problems to solve, which meant there were plenty of opportunities to succeed. And it’s worth noting that the responsibility and accountability that comes with being a TPRM practitioner increased my visibility, often to key decision makers and senior leadership. Considering how difficult it can be for women to succeed in corporate America, if I had understood just how much TPRM would enhance my personal growth, accelerate my career trajectory, and improve my opportunities, I would have pursued the TPRM path much sooner." Fun Fact "I recently moved to a new city and had been looking for new and interesting ways to become involved in my local community. As a history enthusiast who loves spooky stories, I’m delighted that I have been recruited to research, write, and lead a weekly history and ghost tour to raise funds to preserve the town’s historic cemetery."
