The Houston GRC market
Houston is the fourth-largest city in the country and a distinctive governance, risk, and compliance market built on energy. The oil, gas, and petrochemical sector drives deep operational risk, safety, and environmental compliance demand, and that energy and utilities footprint makes critical-infrastructure cybersecurity a priority. Layer in the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world, plus aerospace, manufacturing, and one of the nation's busiest ports, and Houston generates steady demand for risk, audit, third-party risk, and healthcare and privacy compliance work.
Key sectors: energy, healthcare, aerospace, manufacturing, and ports. On the board now: 3 local and 0 remote-eligible roles.
