About Mayank Sharma

I work at the intersection of risk, technology, and scale, helping global organizations design and execute control frameworks that support rapid growth without compromising trust. With 14+ years of experience across Internal Audit, Financial Crime, SOX, and enterprise risk, I currently support global audit engagements at American Express, covering financial crime risk, sanctions, project governance, and emerging risk themes, including AI-enabled processes. My strength lies in translating complex regulatory and risk requirements into practical, scalable solutions, working closely with product, technology, operations, and compliance teams across regions. Previously at Deloitte and EY, I led and executed SOX 404, SOC 1 / SOC 2, and internal audit engagements for financial services and technology-driven organizations, often operating in fast-changing environments with incomplete information. I am particularly interested in roles focused on platform risk, trust & safety, AI governance, and large-scale control systems, where sound risk management is an enabler of innovation and not a blocker.
