With the everchanging threat landscape, I played a key role in Southern Company’s Enterprise Resilience Program as an instrumental component to the Company’s overall preparedness posture. The Enterprise Resilience Department, encompassing such areas as business continuity, crisis management, governance, and enterprise security – is charged with ensuring Southern Company and its subsidiaries are prepared to effectively respond to and recover from threats and disruptions to the business. In my role I supported the industry leading, system-wide Program through engagement of key stakeholders, executive, and other leadership councils. With a broad scope of objectives across the entirety of Southern Company, my diverse perspective and a willingness to challenge the status quo provided a genuine, innovative, and solutions-driven approach to identify opportunities for both maturation of the internal program as well as the industry. I served as a subject matter expert in business continuity planning, the lead for overall program governance, and owner for multiple department-owned enterprise-wide technologies. These technologies included a business continuity planning software, a new mass notification system, a new lone worker monitoring platform, and multiple physical security threat intelligence platforms. With responsibility for this suite of technologies that allowed Southern Company to identify, prepare for, and respond to threats facing our employees or assets, I provided creative solutions and provided support to partners across all areas of the business. In the role I served as a primary point of contact for program coordinators across all subsidiaries and major functional business units of the Company and worked closely with other members of the Enterprise Resilience team to advance program initiatives. Additionally, the I supported both crisis management activities and Security Council initiatives.
