Summary
With over 20 years of experience in technology privacy, security, risk, and compliance strategy and execution, I am a seasoned professional who can help organizations navigate the complex and evolving regulatory landscape, protect their data and reputation, and achieve their business goals. As the Privacy, Risk & Compliance Officer at Edifecs, a leading enterprise healthcare IT company, I created and operated all aspects of the operational risk management and compliance program, addressing the privacy, security, regulatory compliance, and reliability domains. I led cross-functional teams to identify and assess the company's risks, established the governance process for company-wide policies, standards, and procedures, and acted as the company subject matter expert on relevant laws and industry standards. Prior to Edifecs, I worked at Microsoft for over six years, where I developed the strategy, methodologies, and metrics for the next generation of corporate governance, risk, and compliance processes, ensuring product and service privacy, security, reliability, and quality. I also led the privacy and security strategy and compliance efforts for Microsoft's enterprise and consumer healthcare solutions, positioning Microsoft as the leader in protecting people's health information in the cloud. I have a proven track record of building strategic relationships and alliances, advising senior executives, and delivering high-quality products and services that meet the needs and expectations of customers and stakeholders. I hold the CIPP, CIPM, and FIP certifications from the International Association of Privacy Professionals, and I am passionate about advancing the fields of privacy and security through writing, speaking, and mentoring.
