There is this weird stereotype of people in risk management being boring and unimaginative but, at least anecdotally, everyone I know who does it for a living — whether in information security or finance — are closer to Willy Wonka than stereotyped Generic Tax Accountant.

In part, risk management means thinking *a lot* about counterfactuals so imagination is almost baked into the job description. But also, I think people who do that for a living just gradually get weirder and weirder as a consequence of always living in imagined worlds.

But is not the issue that risk management uses normal distributions etc so not a lot of thought about outlying events?

Doesn't have to. Or, at least, good risk management shouldn't. That's mostly a hammer in search of nails problem.
