What I'm looking for
I’m a Technology Risk and Controls Assurance leader with ~16 years of experience across Data, Cloud, AI/LLM, and Cyber risk in global, highly regulated financial services environments. I connect business models and end-to-end processes to technology architecture and control frameworks to assess risk impact and materiality.
As Assistant Vice President for Enterprise Technology Risk Management, I led the global Technology Controls Assurance program across AI-enabled technologies, data platforms, cybersecurity, and end-user developed technologies. I mentored a 12-member team, designed a risk-based control testing strategy, and partnered with CIO/CISO/CRO-level stakeholders, Internal Audit, and Regulators to strengthen technology governance and drive timely remediation of high-impact findings.
I’ve built assurance that scales through analytics-driven auditing and automation, integrating tools like Alteryx, Power BI, and RPA into methodology for continuous monitoring and stronger control maturity. At S&P Global, I was Star Auditor of the Year 2023 and helped create an AI-powered Internal Audit ChatBot—turning audit intelligence into practical, executive-ready outcomes.
