Dr. John M. Rose is a global risk executive, M&A scholar, and leading authority on travel risk, accessibility, and duty of care. With more than two decades of C-suite experience across the insurance, assistance, intelligence, and travel sectors, he has held senior leadership roles, including Chief Risk Advisor for Internova Travel Group’s ALTOUR division, President of AIG Travel Guard Assist, and COO of Crisis24 (iJET). His work spans high-risk environments, enterprise resilience, traveler safety, and the intersection of accessibility and global mobility. A 100% disabled U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Dr. Rose brings a deeply personal and professional perspective to accessibility. He frequently speaks about the realities of hidden disabilities—how they affect travelers, how organizations often overlook them, and what leaders must do to create systems that support all individuals, not just those with visible impairments. His advocacy centers on redesigning travel programs, risk frameworks, and operational policies to ensure equitable access and safe mobility for every traveler. Dr. Rose holds a Doctor of Business Administration from Pepperdine University, where his research on organizational culture and decision-making informs his work on inclusive risk management. He lectures on risk management, global strategy, and leadership at Pepperdine Graziadio Business School and San Diego State University and serves as a Fulbright Specialist. As the Principal Risk Advisor at VisiSolas LLC, the firm he founded in 2018, Dr. Rose advises Fortune 100 companies, private equity firms, and multinational organizations on M&A, traveler safety, duty of care, and accessibility-driven risk mitigation. He is widely quoted in major media outlets, including ABC, BBC, Bloomberg, and The Washington Post. His mission is straightforward: to elevate accessibility as a core component of global risk management and ensure that every traveler—seen or unseen—is protected, supported, and empowered.
