I began my professional career while still in college as a full-time Bank Teller at Bank of Vermont in Burlington, VT. At the time this bank was owned by Bank of Boston. After graduation I went up the branch ranks and was eventually recruited by the audit group as a Compliance Specialist. In 1994 I was recruited by the Risk Management group at Bank of Boston and moved to Boston to further my career. In 1997 I moved to the Operations side of the bank when it merged with BayBank and became BankBoston. My first project was deposit reconciliation during which I recovered just over $500,000 which was lost in transactions that happened during systems integration weekend. After this I managed a few smaller projects and then the largest systems conversion project at the bank over the summer of 1998. At this time, I had the opportunity to switch career paths and I joined the technology industry.
