Wesley C.
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
As a Purple Heart Recipient and Medically Retired Special Operations Counterintelligence United States Marine Corps Veteran, I am a nimble, agile, established, technically-savvy strategist and tactician effectively (and consistently) delivering more than 15+ years of strategic, tactical, and hands-on experience navigating the complexities of the Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC) and Internal Auditing fields, working alongside clients as a trusted advisor, consultant, and subject matter expert (SME) on governance and enterprise risk.
In today's remote and hybrid environment[s], continuing my career from a "freelance" perspective allows me to more effectively facilitate the expert cultivation of data-driven consensus in collaborative, team-oriented environments by leveraging effective audits/assessments, strategic planning, change management, and program management to coach and empower clients/partners in the optimization and performance of GRC activities across the/my client's organization.
When working with/alongside a client in such a remote setting, I believe the initial and ongoing consistent baselining of mutual expectations results in a more cohesive and trust-based partnership. Such a partnership allows for the transparent, flexible, and creative facets of this trust-based relationship to flourish.
Furthermore, the prospective fortification of this partnership (working with a client remotely) then supports me in guiding my client by employing a consistent, pragmatic, and analytical approach to problem-solving and critical thinking to introduce actionable improvements, workflows, and streamlined solutions that bolster operational frameworks, maintain compliance, and support established requirementsโbuilding strong, trusted relationships with clients supported by an โon time, the right time, every timeโ mentality.
