Address at MetricStream GRC Summit 2014
PALO ALTO, Calif., April 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Gunjan Sinha,
Executive Chairman of MetricStream, will deliver a keynote address at
the MetricStream GRC Summit 2014 which is taking place from April 29 -
May 1, 2014 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Mr. Sinha

The GRC Summit on the theme "Towards Pervasive Governance, Risk, and
Compliance (GRC)", is packed with interactive panel discussions,
analyst presentations, GRC workshops, Special Interest Group (SIGs)
meetings, and case study presentations.
During his keynote address, Mr. Sinha will discuss the role of
entrepreneurship, risk-taking, and innovation as key components for an
organizations growth and success. According to Mr. Sinha, a start-up
is a state of mind, not a measure of size or impact. From that
perspective, Mr. Sinha will share how MetricStream is becoming the
largest start-up in the world. In his keynote address, Mr. Sinha will
also talk about MetricStream "customer heroes" - those individuals who
are catalysts for GRC transformations within their organization, and
trailblazers for good governance, risk aware cultures, and compliance.
As part of his keynote, Mr. Sinha will also highlight key industry
trends such as GRC mobility, big data, social media risk management,
GRC in the cloud, and extended enterprise governance - all of which
can be managed effectively by adopting a pervasive GRC framework,
driving co-innovation, and executing against a well-planned GRC
journey.
As Executive Chairman of MetricStream, Mr. Sinha leads the company's
overall strategy and execution. He has spent over 20 years in various
entrepreneurial, board, and executive positions building innovative
businesses. He was the Co-Founder and President of WhoWhere? Inc., a
leading Internet directory services company (acquired by Lycos in
1998) and eGain, an online customer service company which he built
from inception to post NASDAQ IPO.
Mr. Sinha currently serves on the Board of Directors of several
Silicon Valley companies. In 2010, he was appointed to the Board of
the US-India Science and Technology Research Endowment Fund by the US
State Department to promote entrepreneurship and innovation. He also
serves as the Chairman of CFHI.org which brings transformative health
care education to under-served communities around the world.
Mr. Sinha's keynote will give one of many inspiring keynote speeches
