What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead SOC 1/2 and ITGC/ICFR programmes, strengthen control frameworks, and drive measurable reductions in audit findings—partnering with exec and audit committees while scaling IAM governance with tools like Saviynt.

I’m an IT Risk & Compliance GRC consultant with 15+ years of assurance and advisory experience across regulated enterprises. I’m CISA and CISM certified, and I specialize in turning audit requirements into clear, operational control outcomes.

I lead SOC 1 & SOC 2 Type I & II assurance programmes, ITGC and ICFR compliance, and ICFR / SOX compliance across complex environments. I design and test controls for operating effectiveness, align programmes to COSO and COBIT, and deliver executive-ready insights for audit committees.

Most recently, I’ve directed SOC 1 & SOC 2 Type II audit programmes across 14+ enterprise applications over 12 audit cycles, achieving zero qualified opinions or material exceptions. I also implemented Saviynt IGA across 12 enterprise applications (~1,500 user accounts), driving access certification campaigns and reducing audit findings by 20%, while using Power BI dashboards to maintain real-time programme visibility.
