After transferring back to New York as a Senior Auditor in Financial Services Technology Risk, I further expanded my expertise in assessing and managing IT risks for global financial institutions. I played a key role in conducting and leading audits, ensuring compliance with SOX and other regulatory standards, and managing IT General Controls (ITGCs) for areas like system security, access controls, and IT operations. In addition to executing complex audits, I worked closely with cross-functional teams, including senior stakeholders and global IT departments, to develop risk mitigation strategies and improve audit processes. My leadership extended to mentoring junior staff and coordinating audit efforts across multiple regions, preparing me for a Manager role. This period strengthened my global perspective and honed my ability to manage larger teams, enhance cross-border collaboration, and drive operational improvements.
