Senior enterprise risk and governance leader driving control rigor and measurable risk reduction.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a senior enterprise risk and governance leader with 15+ years of experience providing oversight, review and challenge, and operational risk advisory across all lines of business. I’m known for strengthening control design and execution, improving processes, and delivering enterprise governance programs that support executive decision-making and regulatory compliance.
I partner with 1st Line of Defense leaders to identify material risks, strengthen controls, evaluate new products/initiatives, and ensure alignment with operational risk frameworks and risk appetite. In my most recent role, I led enterprise risk governance initiatives across all lines of business and enterprise functions, focusing on control execution, data-driven risk insights, and regulatory alignment.
I’ve built and operationalized governance processes and platforms that improve transparency and speed. I spearheaded an enterprise-scale governance platform with automated workflows, dashboards, and AI-enabled document summarization, and directed a centralized collaboration rollout that reduced assessment cycle time by 50% while improving real-time visibility for executive committees.
Earlier, I owned enterprise risk and governance platforms, partnered with internal and external auditors to validate data and controls for successful outcomes, and improved data quality and reliability through upstream data controls and integrations. I’ve also driven measurable improvements in regulated decisioning and lending operations, including reducing error rates and strengthening governance and quality controls while managing teams.
