Reference for Victoria Lee
at MGM Resorts, Inc.

Job Duties & Technologies
Scott and Victoria worked together for about 4 years during her time at MGM Grand. She worked in the compliance department for a long time and then wanted a bigger opportunity, so she was moved to procurement. When she was working in compliance, she did a lot of building related to risk and security frameworks. She partnered with business stakeholders to discuss what controls needed to be put into place in terms of compliance. She would then take the technical need and controls that were determined and put them in terms of the business. She is very knowledge in the COBIT 5 framework, so much so that our team really looked to her as the expert in this area.
Workload
At MGM she managed budgets that were enormous. MGM itself is an 11-billion-dollar company, so projects are always large scale. Whether projects are related to purchasing or construction, it's safe to say any budget is over $1M.
Performance & Ability
Victoria works very well with different teams. She can move between groups easily and I think her vast experience with different groups at Dell gave her expertise in this area.
Cooperation/Communication
She brought a great deal of maturity into the organization. She is well spoken, can work alongside development teams and can communicate with C-level executives. Victoria is truly a huge asset that any team would benefit from.
Strengths
One of her biggest strengths is how flexible she is. She moved from compliance to procurement which are two different sides of the organization, and she made the transition seamlessly. She is a quick learner and required very little ramp up time.
Education
