Technology risk consultant at KPMG who built an AI risk and control matrix for seven widely used tools.

At KPMG Global Services, I lead a team of five across SOX/ICFR, SOC 1, SOC 2, and ITGC/ITAC engagements for large US clients. I built the risk and control matrix for auditing seven widely used AI tools against NIST, COBIT, ISO 27001, and FinOps.

As Executive, I led a 25,000-hour engagement before promotion and cleared a three-month testing backlog in 45 days on a US retailer’s TPRM engagement. I also cut DLP review errors from 16% to 1% by training reviewers and adding peer checks, and I’m an ISO 27001:2022 Lead Auditor.
