Leonardo da Vinci was perhaps the last of the polymaths - a man of many intellectual talents in a wide diversity of fields. It is interesting to think what he would have thought of risk management as a profession if he were alive today. It is perhaps even more interesting to ponder what the risk management profession would have thought of him. He was very good in a wide variety of areas, but it is difficult to say exactly what he was a specific expert in. da Vinci was a true polymath and a true lateral thinker. It is an interesting thought experiment to ask how many risk departments would have hired him – after all, he did not have a degree in financial engineering.
