What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a GRC leadership role where I can run enterprise audit readiness and third-party risk programs, strengthen IT controls and compliance operations, and partner cross-functionally to deliver executive reporting and measurable control improvements.

I’m a Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) with 10+ years of progressive experience leading enterprise governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) programs in healthcare and other regulated environments. I focus on translating complex regulatory requirements into scalable compliance processes that improve control health and reduce business risk.

Across my roles, I’ve managed audit readiness end-to-end—coordinating with internal and external auditors, overseeing audit evidence collection and validation, and ensuring alignment to frameworks including SOC 2, SOX, HIPAA, ISO/IEC 27001/27002, PCI DSS, GDPR, and NIST. I also build and maintain third-party/vendor risk management practices, including vendor risk registers, remediation tracking, and risk scoring through the vendor lifecycle.

I bring a control-centered, execution mindset: I oversee ITGC testing (access management, change management, and IT operations), maintain Risk & Control Matrices (RCMs) and compliance dashboards, and drive deficiency tracking through closure validation and root cause analysis. I partner closely with IT, Legal, Privacy, and Compliance teams, and I’ve implemented automation initiatives to reduce manual effort in evidence collection, reporting, and vendor risk tracking.
