Sam Elliot

Technology Risk Senior Manager at EY

San Francisco Bay Area

About

I work with global organizations as part of EY’s Technology Risk Assurance team, helping technology sector clients navigate their reporting, attestation, and governance requirements. I hold dual qualifications as an ICAEW Chartered Accountant (ACA) and Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA). My focus is on translating complex technology risk into clear, actionable insights that support confident decision-making — working with executives to strengthen governance and control integrity in a rapidly changing IT landscape. I care about helping organizations grow and innovate without losing sight of what matters from a risk and business impact perspective. In practice, this means partnering with operational teams and risk leaders across technology risk assurance, IT controls, SOC and attestation readiness, and advisory work through periods of significant change — system implementations, modernisation programmes, and operating model transformations. Beyond client work, I’m committed to developing high-performing teams and future leaders. I bring rigour and pragmatism in equal measure, and take pride in mentoring professionals and building teams that draw on diverse perspectives, belonging and strong technical foundations. Collaboration, inclusivity, and practical problem-solving are at the heart of how I work.
