I bring a unique combination of technical, financial services, and regulatory expertise gained from Big 4, and over 20 years of experience in IT risk and controls. I work collaboratively with cross-functional technology groups to establish governance, with the goal of reducing audit findings and optimizing resources. My key strengths lie in defining strategic objectives, operationalizing security controls, and effectively communicating policy and regulatory requirements to stakeholders. I excel in proactively addressing controls that are at risk of non-compliance and am proficient in applying control frameworks such as NIST and ISO to implement efficient controls and assess their effectiveness in reducing risk, with a focus on continual improvement.
