What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead compliance and audit programs, drive control improvements, mentor teams, and shape AI governance in collaborative, ethically-focused organizations.

I am a results-driven auditor with deep experience in SOC 2 Type II audits, ISO 27001/9001, CMMI, and quality management systems. I focus on control design, evidence validation, and risk-based audit planning to strengthen governance and compliance.

At Hewlett-Packard I supported SOC 2, ISO, and CMMI readiness, managed control matrices, and coordinated with external auditors to reduce findings and improve compliance posture. I designed and operated internal auditing programs and tracked audit artifacts, KPIs, and corrective actions.

Previously I led process and quality efforts at KPMG, Timken, CMO Compliance, Eclerx, and Intelgain Technologies, conducting SCAMPI readiness reviews, UAT and QA testing, and ISO internal audits. I train stakeholders on process adherence, facilitate root-cause analysis, and implement continuous improvement initiatives.

I bring strong documentation, policy development, risk assessment, and stakeholder communication skills, plus growing expertise in AI governance and responsible AI. I am committed to ethical, transparent controls that improve operational efficiency and organizational trust.
