Chris Oswald Email and Phone Number

What I bring to the table is over 20 years of diverse experience in InfoSec and IT auditing for large, complex organizations and an ability to drive unprecedented security insights and enable risk-informed decision-making. I’m relied upon as a thought partner who can effectively bridge communication between technical and non-technical teams in order to translate business requirements, build consensus, and solve complex IT, security, and risk management problems. I’m recognized as a mission- and impact-focused leader who can build and lead teams, drive high-impact programs, elevate departmental value, and accelerate organizational goal attainment.A notable career highlight of mine is having built a COSO and COBIT based IT SOX compliance program from the ground up for a publicly traded company. While at Princeton University, I've designed and led multiple strategically-oriented initiatives resulting in significant risk mitigation in key areas throughout the institution. I possess deep hands-on knowledge of information technologies, risk assessment, and security tools related to IT operations, network infrastructure and architecture, operating systems, cloud technologies, service management, threat detection and mitigation, vulnerability management, and database platforms.
