My career has encompassed an array of roles in project management, risk management, compliance, internal audit and finance. Recognized as a collaborative and empathetic leader, I prioritize effective communication as a cornerstone for achieving team success. Working with me, you'll benefit from the very rare breed of a GRC Executive who has extensive experience in: • identifying and mitigating corporate risks, • building compliance programs, processes and internal controls and • auditing internal effectiveness and efficiency. An accredited Chartered Professional Accountant, Chartered Accountant and Certified Internal Auditor, I first forayed into the corporate world with a role in project management at one of the largest Canadian financial institutions, before articling at KPMG. Most recently, I served as Chief Operating Officer in SAP's Office of Ethics and Compliance, spearheading the establishment and leadership of global teams focusing on strategic initiatives, shared services and process automation. For twelve years, I enhanced the company’s compliance management system, leveraging technological innovation and adoption, and partnering with the company's partner ecosystem team to effectively launch new go-to-market models and incentive programs contributing to tens of billions of dollars in corporate revenue. Notably, my efforts played a pivotal role in SAP’s January 2024 settlement with regulators tied to concerns about bribery and corruption.I thrive on cultivating partnership for mutual success and impactful results.Feel free to reach out to me if you're: • looking to establish or expand a GRC/Audit function, or • need to radically transform and improve your existing GRC/Audit organization into a world class function.
