Global Crisis Management Team Lead | Enterprise Risk & Resilience

Raleigh, North Carolina, United States

About

I serve as a Global Crisis Management Team Lead with responsibility for coordinating preparedness, response, and recovery efforts across complex, multi-region operations. My role focuses on ensuring organizations are ready to anticipate, manage, and recover from disruptive events while protecting people, assets, and continuity of operations. I lead cross-functional crisis management teams through real-world incidents and high-consequence scenarios, providing structured command, decision support, and clear executive-level communications. My work includes developing and maintaining crisis management frameworks, coordinating threat monitoring and early response activities, and integrating crisis response with business continuity, emergency management, and operational risk programs. I design and facilitate enterprise-level exercises and simulations to validate plans, stress decision-making, and strengthen leadership readiness. These efforts have improved response coordination, reduced time to decision, and increased confidence across senior leadership teams. I also build and mentor regional and site-level crisis teams, ensuring consistent standards while accounting for local risk profiles and regulatory environments. My background includes collaboration with external partners, government agencies, and emergency management organizations to expand response capability and situational awareness. I am known for operating effectively in high-pressure environments, translating complex risk information into actionable decisions, and maintaining calm, disciplined leadership during crisis events. Core areas of focus include global incident response, crisis governance and command structures, enterprise exercises, threat intelligence integration, executive briefing and decision support, and continuous improvement of crisis and resilience programs.
