New Leadership Established for ISACA Auckland Chapter
Tatum Crisp, a seasoned professional with over two decades of experience in technology and cybersecurity risk management, has been appointed as the president of ISACA's Auckland chapter. This marks a significant milestone as Crisp becomes the first female president of the 40-year-old chapter.
Crisp, who brings a unique blend of expertise from both the New Zealand and United Kingdom financial services sectors, will lead a team of highly specialized risk professionals. Currently serving as the Head of Technology Risk at Westpac NZ, Crisp has demonstrated her leadership skills and commitment to the industry.
Prior to her role at Westpac NZ, Crisp held roles at ASB, Sovereign (now AIA), Barclays Bank, and PWC. Her extensive career spans various aspects of the technology and cybersecurity sectors, making her an ideal choice for the presidency.
ISACA, a global organisation with a presence in over 180 countries, is known for providing knowledge, credentials, training, and community in audit, governance, risk, privacy, and cybersecurity. The organisation's SheLeadsTech initiative, which fosters leadership and professional growth for women in technology, is particularly close to Crisp's heart. She is proud to be associated with this initiative and looks forward to continuing its work.
Jo Stewart-Rattray, ISACA's Oceania Ambassador, expressed her confidence in Crisp's ability to lead, stating that she will ensure members continue to enjoy a vibrant and supportive network. Crisp's passion for driving innovation and growth in the IT and cybersecurity sectors, coupled with her interest in understanding the impact of behaviors and habits on decision-making and risk-taking, make her an excellent fit for the role.
Crisp has personally experienced the benefits of being an ISACA member throughout her career. She has been a member for many years and has found the organisation to be a valuable resource for professional development and networking. As president, she aims to continue this tradition and create a welcoming and supportive environment for all members.
In 2018, Crisp made history as the first female president of the Auckland chapter, a testament to her dedication and contributions to the field. Under her leadership, the chapter is poised to continue its growth and impact in the technology and cybersecurity sectors.
