a tribute in memory of Kalyan Sunderam We are saddened to hear the news of the death of Kalyan Sunderam, PRM, CFA, and PRMIA Education Committee chair. Our thoughts are with his family and colleagues.
April 4, 1949 - June 20, 2021
Kalyan was a long-time supporter and member leader within the PRMIA membership network. He helped to develop and launch the Professional Risk Manager credentialing program and supported its continual updates over the years. During his time serving the membership at PRMIA, Kalyan brought integrity and validity to the programs for financial risk managers around the globe. His strong leadership, influence, and expertise will be missed.
”
Kalyan has been the main source of continuity in the Education Committee across many cycles. I had the pleasure of working with Kalyan on the Education Committee when I served as the Chair as a newcomer. Kalyan’s dedication to PRMIA, passion about the risk management profession, and his adherence to quality of our educational and examination material helped tremendously and was contagious. He set a great example for other Education Committee members by organizing and leading a subcommittee reviewing all our test bank that led to restoring our confidence and revitalize the program. Yet, he was always very humble and listened to everyone carefully and asked the most relevant but hard to answer questions without any hesitation. It is truly a loss to PRMIA and our industry. He will be truly missed, but he has made his impact already. Ron D’Vari, past PRMIA Education Committee chair, Chief Executive Officer/Co-Founder, NewOak Capital LLC
