What I'm looking for

I seek a senior role in risk governance or technology controls where I can lead remediation, improve reporting, optimize vendors, and advise executives.

I am a results-driven Risk Governance and Technology Controls leader with seven years of experience building governance frameworks, improving remediation processes, and ensuring regulatory compliance across large technology organizations.

I have led cross-functional teams to implement exception management, vulnerability tracking, and real-time reporting solutions, achieving measurable outcomes such as a 60% increase in data governance compliance and development of a cyber vulnerability dashboard.

I excel at vendor and cost optimization, executive-level reporting, and establishing operational foundations for new departments; I seek roles where I can strengthen risk posture, streamline remediation, and deliver actionable insights to senior leadership.
