Updated May 2009
The bank has recently had its Cease & Desist Orders from Dec-2005 terminated, that were issued with regards to BSA/AML violations and as a direct result of the Compliance & Legal Projects that I managed from the RFP process through implementation since my hiring in Jan-2006, with this and many other successes I felt now is the time to begin exploring other opportunities where I can pursue new challenges and grow my current skill sets, ideally I am looking for an organization that has a need for a IT Leader with Compliance experience that has come up through the ranks, and can provide business benefit in any and all roles and phases of IT projects. Additionally over last three years at the bank I have implemented over 4 major programs/applications all $100k's under budget and delivered on aggressive and extremely tight project deadlines, to meet the regulators requirements and terminate the C&D's for the bank.
