David Powers — CEO
I am a risk and controls professional specializing in AI‑enabled process improvement, control optimization, and automation strategy across large, complex operational environments. I combine strong analytical thinking with hands‑on technical skills to streamline workflows, enhance control documentation, and elevate monitoring and audit readiness. My expertise includes AI prompt engineering, GenAI solution development, data quality and control analytics, and building scalable digital tools using PowerApps, SharePoint architecture, and PowerAutomate. I excel at transforming ambiguous problems into structured, repeatable solutions that increase efficiency and reduce operational risk. I have a proven track record of driving results through: Risk & Control Management: control design assessment, documentation quality improvement, monitoring strategy, RCSA support, and data lifecycle classification. AI & Automation: developing AI prompt libraries, evaluating automation candidates, simplifying complex processes through GenAI, and implementing automated workflows. Process Optimization: redesigning SharePoint ecosystems, creating structured reporting, improving intake pipelines, and delivering clean, high‑usability tools for teams. Cross‑Functional Impact: partnering with control owners, technology teams, and operations leaders to implement sustainable improvements that scale. Known for strong communication, proactive leadership, and the ability to work across both technical and business teams, I thrive in environments where strategic thinking, curiosity, and operational rigor come together to drive meaningful change. My goal is to continue advancing AI‑driven operational excellence within risk and control functions while contributing to a culture of innovation, clarity, and continuous improvement.
