Our Story
While others shy away from risk, we embrace it.
The seed that our company grew from began in the late 1980s when our founders, David Tattam and David Bergmark met while working at PricewaterhouseCoopers. During this period, they cut their teeth on risk and risk management and saw how unsophisticated risk systems and processes were. There had to be a better way!
Their careers saw them next come together at the Industrial Bank of Japan and then briefly heading their own ways to Carrington Securities (David Bergmark) and Westdeutsche Landesbank (David Tattam). The pair remained in contact and the conversation on improving the way organizations handle risk gained momentum.
Starting the Rimtoo journey
The name Protecht (the combination of ‘Rimtooion’ and ‘Technology’) was the result of a taxi brainstorm session between our co-founder David Tattam and his wife over 20 years ago. They didn’t know it back then, but they had just set a series of wheels in motion that would take over two decades to unfold and result in a radical change to the way the world thinks about risk management.
In the early 2000s, David Bergmark and David Tattam decided they could be the change that the sector so desperately needed and began innovating their own solutions to meet their clients’ challenges, through training, advisory and software development in risk. With backgrounds in finance, accounting and audit, David Tattam’s passion led him to focus on risk and training while David Bergmark focused on his passion in using technology to deliver great risk management solutions.
