As the founder of Sagevia, Stephanie Ritz brings nearly two decades of experience in risk management, analytics, and organizational strategy, shaped by a foundation in public health education. Her unique approach connects technical rigor with human understanding, helping organizations move from information overload to confident, meaningful action.

Drawing on her background in insurance, workers’ compensation, and analytics, Stephanie developed Integrative Risk Intelligence™ (IRI™) to address a persistent gap across industries. IRI™ integrates science, data, governance, and experience into one adaptive, practical model that can be applied to any risk. The framework helps practitioners make informed decisions with clarity and purpose, no matter their field or operational focus.

Rooted in evidence-based insight and guided by empathy, Stephanie’s work reflects a balance between precision and care that defines her methodology. Her commitment to community is evident in her volunteer service. She shares her time and expertise with the broader workers’ compensation community through organizations and initiatives including Kids’ Chance of Tennessee and the Tennessee Bureau of Workers’ Compensation REWARD Advisory Committee. 

Through consulting, teaching, and service, Stephanie helps people and organizations navigate complexity with confidence, connection, and integrity. Her work blends analytical depth with creative intelligence to build systems that adapt, empower, and create lasting impact, offering clients clarity and reassurance.
