Expertise • Expertise – IT General Controls and how IT General Controls support policies, procedures, business processes and operating practices of the lines of business. • Example – Recent segregation of duties analysis • Segregation of duties means ensuring no one person can take a transaction from initiation through posting to the general ledger. • Application access should support business segregation of duties • Analyzing system access to ensure it supports business segregation of duties requires an understanding of the business processes, the IT infrastructure that supports the business, and segregation of duties concepts. • The segregation of duties analysis for PNC’s Sarbanes Oxley applications was just successfully completed, with rollout to our Non-SOX high risk applications scheduled to begin in 2008.

Reputation • Professionally, I’m known as a driven leader: • At Katz, I often functioned as the project leader for team projects • At KPMG, I was among only 2 individuals hired as Associates in 2005 that was promoted to Sr. Associate in 2006 (the other was a Katz grad) • I continue to drive my teams towards results at PNC: • The segregation of duties analysis for SOX applications required the effective coordination of over 150 project participants and received significant scrutiny by Internal Audit, the OCC, and external auditors. • Since joining PNC in April of 2007, I’ve helped the organization make significant progress towards achieving higher levels of governance and regulatory compliance.

  6.
