What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead internal audit and risk programs where I can strengthen internal controls, drive process improvement, use data analytics, and partner with senior leaders to address emerging risks and regulatory priorities.

I’m an Audit Director with more than 20 years of experience in accounting, internal audit, financial reporting, risk management, and operational controls. I partner with senior executives to improve business performance through strong accounting principles, regulatory compliance, reconciliations, and process improvement.

I lead audit execution and strategy by managing 4 direct reports and 4 indirect reports, providing onboarding, goal setting, performance management, and knowledge sharing. I provide operational audit coverage for 4 of the company’s largest business lines, conduct risk assessment of key processes, build the annual audit plan and Strategy Memo, and manage audit work through planning, fieldwork, reporting, and remediation—while ensuring adherence to budget, methodology, and regulatory requirements.
