About

Great audits don’t just find issues - they strengthen trust, resilience, and confidence in the system. As a Senior Internal Audit professional (Payments & Technology) with 15+ years of experience, I lead and deliver high-risk audits across technology infrastructure, cybersecurity, and regulated payment ecosystems within Banking, IT, and IT Services environments. I specialize in risk-based audit strategy and execution, delivering complex enterprise-wide technology audits and regulatory attestations in large-scale financial services organizations—consistently on time, within budget, and to high quality standards. My expertise spans the end-to-end audit lifecycle, including audit planning, scoping, objective setting, test design, fieldwork execution, issue validation, and clear, impactful audit reporting. - I have led audits covering cybersecurity response and threat hunting, vulnerability and access management, data center physical and environmental security, core platforms (databases, virtualization, RPA, file transfer, email journaling, mobile delivery), and critical payment systems and schemes including CHAPS, SWIFT, BACS, Faster Payments and TARGET2 - Redesigned audit workflows to eliminate duplication, while achieving 100% “Satisfactory” ratings in independent quality reviews. - Actively champion innovation and use of emerging technologies, including AI, to enhance audit effectiveness and insight. My core strengths include IT General Controls (ITGCs), application and infrastructure audits, payment operations and cyber resilience, with strong focus on driving timely remediation, control maturity and sustainable risk reduction. Beyond execution, I am known for building high-performing audit teams, strengthening stakeholder trust and partnering effectively with senior management and regulators. With deep technical knowledge across platforms, networks, databases, storage, cloud and emerging technologies, I bring balanced perspective that connects technology risk with business outcomes. If you’re interested in strengthening technology and payments governance, audit transformation or thought leadership in this space, let’s connect.
