About Olawale A.

As an experienced professional in third-party risk management, I have a proven track record of guiding complex analyses of third-party systems and tools for clients in highly regulated industries, with a particular focus on healthcare. I ensure compliance with internal security and risk mitigation standards, as well as HIPAA policies, and provide recommendations to clients and vendors on ideal steps to resolve issues of non-compliance, positioning deals to move forward effectively. My expertise in internal compliance assessments has helped me facilitate compliance and build an environment in which incidents are a rarity. Through regular assessments of operations and leading training and process development based on best practices in information security, I have positioned my employers and colleagues to act in the lowest risk ways consistently.As a team leader for the past 10 years, I believe in training, coaching, and professional development as core tenants to empower strong performance among my teams. I recognize their great work and value relationships, which has led to strong team retention rates and exceptional long-term outcomes. My experience in building trust and effectively collaborating with clients has enabled me to achieve all requirements, resolve pain points, and deliver a strong ROI that has led to exceptional long-term retention and relationships. I am passionate about developing and implementing innovative strategies that position my clients for long-term success, and I am eager to bring my expertise to new challenges and opportunities. Outside of work, I love to play and watch soccer (I’m a lifelong Arsenal fan), and I also spend a lot of time volunteering with my church to teach community members to use computers and code.
