Leads IT audit engagements and helps advance Applied Materials' IT audit practice, providing independent assurance over technology, cybersecurity, and AI risk across a global enterprise at the center of the semiconductor industry.

• Influence across boundaries - shape the technology risk agenda with GIS, business, and operations partners, build alignment with senior leadership, and drive a shared vision within the IT Audit team
• Lead cross-functional teams with disciplined project management, spanning GIA auditors, guest auditors from business and technical functions, and external contractors and consultants
• Direct third-party engagements - co-source partners, staff…
