As a talented, award-winning IT security compliance professional, I

organized, trained and led an international team performing financial

application testing, process auditing, compliance testing and defect

remediation for IBM.

With an intuitive understanding of business strategy, I am a recognized

expert in financial software application segregation of duties, process

analysis, and control point evaluation and testing. I build long-term

relationships with internal customers worldwide. Key skills include:

. Providing strong direction to propel major initiatives and attain

organization objectives

. Introducing business analytic tools to facilitate effective decision-

making

. Implementing and certifying internal controls for financial software

applications

. Planning and directing staff development and policy administration

I earned an MBA in Accounting from Syracuse University, and a BS from

Clarkson University. I also completed a Master's Certificate in Project

Management at George Washington University. Through the course of my career

I've received four IBM Bravo Awards and completed over 600 hours of IBM

professional education.

Selected Accomplishments

Streamlined compliance reviews. Reviews of security and compliance controls

for IBM's non-SOX financial applications were inconsistent and time

consuming. Created software tools to coordinate activities and generate

quarterly reports. Streamlined review, increased productivity, cut costs,

and allowed quicker issue resolution.

Developed and implemented training. IBM required application of new

Segregation of Duties (SOD) tool in evaluation of all finance applications.

Analyzed complex tool, becoming expert in its use. Created and delivered

online training worldwide. Tested global team's understanding, bringing

applications to a new level of compliance.

Led migration of critical applications into compliance. Finance division

discovered over 60 SOX applications worldwide not using corporate-mandated

SOD tool. In addition to regular duties, created migration plan, led

training and directed implementation, overseeing migration of 33 core

applications in under five months.

Verified compliance of worldwide servers. Integrated Supply Chain

department was tasked to test and verify that all servers worldwide not

managed by Global Services met IBM security standards. Created and executed

compliance test plans. Brought all servers into compliance on or ahead of

schedule, winning management award.

Oversaw division audit preparation. IBM Worldwide Distribution division

failed internal audit after not updating procedures for application that

managed billions in global distribution. Led preparation for the new audit,

reviewed procedures and documentation, and interfaced with corporate audit.

Passed audit with only one minor finding.
