Kelly Jacobson Collins is a governance, risk and compliance (GRC) leader who has helped Blis, a mid-market AdTech company, build practical and scalable risk and compliance frameworks. She specialises in aligning governance and resilience with commercial reality, bringing a pragmatic, right-sized approach to risk management, regulatory compliance, and operational excellence. Drawing on 20 years in multiple sectors and non-GRC roles, Kelly brings a fresh, business-focused perspective to GRC.

At GRC World Forums’ Risk Europe, Kelly will share how mid-market organisations can avoid over-engineering GRC, strike the right balance between risk mitigation and agility, and build sustainable frameworks that scale with growth and prepare for successful exits. In March 2025, Blis was acquired by T-Mobile USA, Inc.
