Redhand Advisors

Redhand Advisors is the leading independent consulting and research firm exclusively focused on Risk Management Information Systems (RMIS) and the broader RiskTech landscape. Founded in 2015 by Patrick O’Neill, a recognized industry expert with three decades of experience, Redhand was created to help organizations navigate the complexity, fragmentation, and rapid evolution of risk technology with clarity and confidence.

We exist to ensure that every technology decision is informed, aligned, and future-ready.

Redhand combines the analytical rigor of an industry research firm with the agility of a boutique consultancy.

We are the authors of the annual RMIS Report, the industry’s most respected and comprehensive analysis of RMIS and RiskTech platforms, used by thousands of risk professionals to understand market capabilities, pricing, and trends.
