VP Security, Data Privacy & Protection at EPI-USE America; VP Data Privacy & Protection at Flying Cloud Health LLC
As Vice President of Data Privacy and Protection with EPI-USE America, I lead the GDPR, Security, and Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) Practice. With over 21 years’ experience in strategic advisory, solution architecture and delivery, as well as best practice security role design, I bring extensive expertise related to information security, access control, and identity management, with a specialization in Human Resources and Payroll, including protection of PII. With a passion for knowledge sharing and enabling clients with a proactive approach, I work side-by-side with clients to identify the right approach to manage risk and compliance for information security and data privacy requirements. I tap into my past experience and utilize my expertise to guide clients with GRC and Security health checks, and pre- and post-audit remediation.
Through optimizing business processes, and integrating technical infrastructure with functional solutions, I approach solving business problems with the support of technology, rather than technological systems dictating how business operates.
I frequently present at SAP Insider and ASUG events, and my curiosity extends to auditing and compliance of Robotic Process Automation (RPA). I am passionate about mentoring my team, and championing women in technology.
