What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue improving quality, compliance, and risk management through auditing, continuous improvement, team training, and project-management practices.

At BNP Paribas Securities Services, I manage and perform internal audits of IT applications, supporting compliance with group directives, regulatory requirements, and project and release-management practices. I completed 90% of planned internal audits in my last year and supported stakeholders through an external audit that achieved the best overall rating.

Previously at Philip Morris International, I drove quality improvement on the factory floor, led ISO 9001 and Quality Management System audits, and delivered 100% of audit actions on time. I also built capabilities and implemented standards for 500+ people while sustaining green KPI results above 90%.
