Alternately, it assumes that the risk matrix of an executive also includes:
1. Their reputation. How much less likely is it that a board of directors would think twice before hiring them to be a steward of shareholders' assets?
2. Their egos. How much less likely is it that people will be willing to invest time delivering projects whose value can be wiped out by poor risk management in the same way that SVBs has?

One member of the SVB c-suite was the CFO fr Lehman in the run up to that catastrophe. So, BOD don’t appear to care. They keep on hiring each other, making massive mistakes, but walking away with $$$$ in bonus money.
