IT Manager

Nymbl

Owned Nymbl's internal IT stack, governance posture, access controls, and Corporate Operations while leading SOC 2 readiness and audit coordination. Ran the Corporate Operations department: architected the company's use cases and data objects, led the Google Workspace to Microsoft SharePoint change management migration, answered IT support questions, and owned SaaS-tool onboarding for all staff — genuine IT Service Management (ITSM) work. Built security policies, system administration routines, asset tracking practices, and automation for provisioning and compliance workflows. The SOC 2 Type II program was the foundation that unlocked Nymbl's ability to sell into banks, credit unions, and other highly regulated enterprise customers.
