I am a seasoned Certified Information Systems Auditor with over 12 years of IT risk advisory and project management experience across multiple sectors. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for evaluating client compliance and regulatory requirements, as well as for leading cross-functional teams in executing accurate audit processes. Professional focal points include ITGC audits, IT Audits, information security assessments, risk assessments, IT compliance activities, client compliance evaluation, regulatory requirements, control frameworks and standards, scoping and planning, and cross-team coordination. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication and negotiation skills, as well as business acumen, systems analysis, policy development, and resource management to support efficiency and maximum returns. Currently, I am the Internal Audit Senior Manager with Cognizant Technology Solutions. Under my leadership, I guide the ITGC and ITAC audits to so that they are performed on a timely basis, ensuring all testing is performed qualitatively and accurately. In additional, I liaise with senior leadership, audit teams, and external auditors to ensure the company’s audit support structure is driving the business forward with minimal expenditures and absolute compliance. Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, analytical and precise managerial expert who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that deliver profitable results on time and under budget.
