In the ever-evolving technology world that we live in today, working cross-functionally to ensure data security has never been more important. As an executive director with extensive experience in technology risk and third party risk management, I thrive at developing risk management frameworks that encompass global teams and mitigate risk on an enterprise scale.RISK MANAGEMENTAs part of an initiative to close risk gaps in vendor assessments, I built a remediation team from scratch and developed the strategy, processes, and overall framework for its function. The formation of this team has been directly responsible for closing 70% of critical risk gaps.GLOBAL TEAM DEVELOPMENTBuilding teams that are able to function effectively on a global scale is one of my strengths. As a VP, I was hand-picked by a managing director in Morgan Stanley to develop an enterprise IT program to manage 5,000 requests for electronic data annually. I provided the strategic oversight for the program and built a 25-member team of analysts, project managers, and forensic agents.Throughout program development, I led strategy, organized structure, implemented repeatable processes, and built systems to mitigate legal, operational, regulatory, and financial risk.With the development of efficient processes, we were able to reduce data collection time from 1–2 months to 2–3 days, strengthening our ability to mitigate risk in a timely manner.STAKEHOLDER MANAGEMENTThroughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work cross-functionally with numerous stakeholders and C-suite executives. I routinely attend governance meetings at our firm where I present findings to committee members and suggest actionable steps to further align program objectives with company risk policy.If you are interested in speaking about developing a comprehensive risk framework or would simply like to network, please send me a connection request.AREAS OF EXPERTISERisk Management Framework Development | Enterprise Management & Leadership | Technology Risk Management | Third Party / Vendor Risk Management | Stakeholder & C-Suite Engagement | Team Building & Succession Planning | Budget & Resource Planning | Policy & Procedure Development | Vendor Management & RFP Negotiation
