Life at GE : Careers : GE
The best aspect of my role is its global nature, offering visibility into all GE businesses. I have a unique opportunity to identify and share best practices across the Company, helping solve complex problems at a regional or country level. I must say that there couldn't a better time to be part of the IT Risk organization - not only are we working on key priorities for the Company, but we also are growing rapidly.
First - GE's culture of integrity. Second - the Company's commitment to employee development and growth. With the EMS process, growth values and leadership programs, GE has a unique model. It's a truly open environment to enable everyone to succeed and perform at their best.
I decided early in my career to build expertise in compliance and controllership and get insight into various GE businesses. Joining GE's Corporate Audit Staff (CAS) allowed me not only to do that, but also to work closely with multiple functions outside of IT. CAS develops us as leaders to rapidly connect to a large group of stakeholders, analyze and adapt to evolving situations.
My current role is definitely the most challenging I have faced. We are building a ton of momentum across the Company to educate employees, strengthen processes and controls, and at the same adapt to local needs and keep up with new technologies. The challenge lies in pushing all these initiatives forward.
The ability to learn new areas rapidly in order to understand and resolve complex cross-functional problems. I drew upon this skill when I was part of CAS to acquire the required knowledge on complex financial accounting standards and regulatory requirements. Today, I do the same with respect to software licensing to ensure that we are compliant with contractual terms and agreements as well as local and regulatory requirements.
Always strive to find a better and simpler way of doing things, no matter how complex the problem is. Focus on the problem to be solved, and then the tools.
