Vice President @ Our mission: To empower and develop Latino men and women as leaders of character for the nation, in every sector of the global economy. From January 2015 to Present (1 year) Greater Philadelphia AreaManager @ From October 2014 to Present (1 year 3 months) Greater Philadelphia AreaSenior Consultant @ Good risk management doesn’t slow an organization down – it helps it go faster. Effective risk management not only protects existing value, but also results in better and faster decision making, reduced costs, and improved performance. Many organizations, however, are not getting full value from their investments in risk management because their risk processes are disconnected and critical data and information are not shared.
Most organizations will be asked to do more with the same resources. The pressure is on, not only to improve risk coverage, but also to decrease costs and improve performance. We start by helping organizations answer some key questions, such as:
- What are your key risks and how they are being managed?
- Do you have overlapping risk functions or gaps in coverage?
- Have we optimized the use of technology?
Effective risk management not only provides better protection for your business, but also improves business performance and decision making and, ultimately, competitive advantage.

This includes assessing the processes and controls used to produce the financial statements. It also involves understanding business drivers, associated risks and their potential effect on financial statement accounts. Additionally, as an audit professional I contribute to advisory projects.
