Overseeing Security Projects at Financial Institution
Led projects at a large financial institution, resulting in the successful implementation of robust security measures and compliance with industry standards.
I was hired at Desjardins during a period of crisis. A large data leak had recently occurred, and Desjardins was mandated by the AMF (the SEC equivalent of Quebec) to improve their level of security across their entire IT ecosystem. I was brought on to lead security initiatives for the marketing IT department. Some of my responsibilities are:
In charge of security initiatives for the marketing solutions IT department (budget: ~$2M)
Cross-functional role in which I often need to get alignment from multiple management stakeholders
Since my arrival, individual projects have been moved to “green” status and vulnerabilities are mitigated on time
