What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role focused on putting governance into practice: clear decision and escalation routes, standards and procedures, forums whose actions are followed through, and effective work across security, risk, compliance, audit and external service providers. I’ve built governance from scratch and adapted it as organisations grew.

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.
