IT governance lead at Brown Brothers Harriman, where I run governance for a 700+ person IT organisation and proposed IDAM model changes adopted by unit owners.
What I'm looking for
At Brown Brothers Harriman, I run the governance cadence for an IT organisation of 700+ people across Kraków, Asia and the US. I maintain operating standards, KPI/SLA reporting and RAID-based tracking so leadership can make decisions and follow through on them.
I also govern vendors and service providers, coordinate audit and attestation work, and own IT controls and IDAM as IT Security Coordinator. I proposed IDAM model changes that unit owners implemented, and my review of an external law firm’s invoice led BBH to pay an estimated 20% less for legal services, sustained for years.
Earlier, at Kubas Kos Gałkowski, I wrote company-wide procedures that are still in use and coordinated IT and compliance work in a regulated legal environment. I’ve also built governance documentation and operating procedures in other organisations, and at BBH I wrote the firm’s first RPA business case and co-authored governance and security documentation for its first RPA programme.
