Mission Possible: Balancing process enablement and controls.I listen actively to propose solutions, products or services to address complex business requirements in IT systems design and audit, including Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) technology and reporting platforms.I am an IT security, advisory, audit and project management professional with 30 years of multi-national experience in the assessment, implementation, support, monitoring and sales of various finance and operational business application systems. I have demonstrated a high degree of change agility in learning, selling and delivering a variety of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) systems (Oracle & SAP), with a high level of quality across various industries.Independent of internal audit, I help Hearst secure valuable information assets and manage litigation, business operational and reputation damage risk. Specifically, I drive improvements in business application security and control monitoring, as well as business administration processes leveraging Cloud Software as a Service technologies, and bridge knowledge and communication gaps between senior management, IT, auditors, lines of business, software vendors and information security.Prior to Hearst, I was a director in the PwC Enterprise Systems and Controls practice focused on Oracle business applications. There, I led engagement teams to help clients assess, design and implement Oracle ERP security and controls to address business risks. I worked cross-functionally with multiple client stakeholders from finance, operations, internal audit, SoX Act compliance and IT functions across a variety of business process cycles to optimize controls and improve business processes.Specific benefits I have helped achieve include obtaining a high return on investment in IT systems, reduced compliance costs and greater audit efficiencies, leveraging sustainable automation and process improvements.I run to rejuvenate, finding joy in running ultra-marathons up to 100 miles on mountainous forest and desert trails. Systems implementation and optimization journey is analogous to trail running; the Journey is an Ultramarathon, not a Marathon, through deep valleys, high mountains and both beautiful and treacherous weather.https://ultrarunning.com/calendar/runner/show?first_name=Ivan&last_name=Nghttps://utmb.world/runner/3038017.ivan.nghttps://ultrasignup.com/results_participant.aspx?fname=Ivan&lname=Ng
