You can establish and scale a repeatable operating model that drives consistent IAM outcomes across regions, platforms, and identity types (human and non-human).
You can serve as a trusted execution partner to the Head of IAM, providing transparency into delivery risk, control gaps, and operational capacity.

Driving Governance & Control Assurance

You can ensure enterprise IAM governance processes are executed consistently, including access controls, certifications, and segregation-of-duties requirements.
You can align IAM governance activities to regulatory expectations and risk priorities in financial services.
You can partner with Risk, Audit, and Compliance teams to support examinations, remediate findings, and eliminate repeat issues through structural improvements.

Operating IAM as Tier 0 Services

You can ensure IAM services operate as mission-critical (Tier 0) platforms with strong availability, resilience, and recoverability.
You can drive operational excellence across access fulfillment, application onboarding, authentication integrity, and entitlement accuracy.
You can reduce operational risk by addressing both technical and human single points of failure.

Advancing Modernization, Automation & AI

You can execute IAM modernization initiatives, including workflow automation, reducing manual reviews, and improving identity data quality.
You can partner with engineering and analytics teams to operationalize AI/ML capabilities for anomaly detection, access risk identification, and certification optimization.
You can ensure IAM controls effectively scale to non-human identities and emerging AI-enabled systems.

Delivering Metrics, Performance & Transparency

You can define and report KPIs and KRIs that measure control effectiveness, risk posture, service performance, and automation progress.
You can deliver accurate, decision-grade metrics for leadership, governance forums, and audit transparency.
You can proactively identify operational debt, control drift, and emerging access risks through data-driven insights.

Partnering Across the Enterprise

You can serve as a senior IAM partner to Global Technology, HR, application teams, and governance functions.
You can embed IAM controls into business and technology workflows to minimize friction while maintaining strong security posture.
You can influence adoption of standardized IAM practices across the enterprise.

Building Strong Teams & Sustainable Practices

You can lead, coach, and develop a high-performing IAM leadership bench.
You can establish clear accountability, decision rights, and ownership of controls.
You can foster continuous learning across advanced IAM domains, including privileged access, cloud identity, and AI-related risks.

“I am the person Capital Group is looking for.”

You have deep expertise in Identity and Access Management, including identity lifecycle management, access certifications, RBAC/ABAC, privileged access management, and cloud/SaaS IAM.
10+ years in cybersecurity, including 5+ years of proven leadership building, scaling, and automating high-performing operations teams, track record of driving accountability, engagement, and career growth.
