Summary

I have 12+ years of IT experience from companies such as IBM. As a security delivery specialist, I facilitated various compliance processes. For example, I improved the security health check process, which resulted in a 30% decrease in the vulnerability findings and as a result of the new performance management system I introduced, customer satisfaction has improved by 25%. My most recent job I successfully prepared and managed PCI DSS, PCI 3DS and PCI PIN Audits and led the company ISO27001 certification preparation.

Given my solid IT experience and proven track record, especially in customer service organizations, I feel ready to take on the Security Delivery Specialist role at your company.
