Attended an EY alumni event in NJ last week. The EY Alumni network programs are excellent and I am proud to have served on the EY alumni committee for a number of years when it was launched. Diane Biancamano makes sure the meetings are great networking and catch-up opportunities. For me meeting with Khoa Le was perfect timing with the world premier on my sons new independent movie coming up next week!

Excellent meeting today with Lukka CEO Kiet Tran, Bob Herz and Miklos Vasarhelyi of Rutgers Business School - Newark and New Brunswick; the three of us are colleagues at the Rutgers Continuous Auditing & Reporting Lab (CAR LAB), focused on Audit Analytics and data analytics.
We have advised Lukka on regulatory compliance and auditability in the past. From the start Lukka has had a strong focus on regulatory compliance and auditability making them an excellent source for financial blockchain infrastructure.

Happy New Year and Happy ISACA Anniversary to me. 40 years ago I was elected ISACA Global President and Board Chair, it was an honor and a privilege to serve.

You start your career by learning some skills that get you a job, I was a CPA & IT Auditor. But I wanted to run a business enterprise. This stop along the way to CAE-CFO-CEO was an early very valuable advancement. It was hands on – we only had a few very precious staff. Luckily ISACA was and is a very valuable contributor to IT Governance. I say we had the wind at our backs from the growth of IT! That said we made some major strategic decisions – one worldwide organization – not many of those!! Also, we helped launch the IT Security Profession.

To the many ISACA leaders I have come to work with an know – you bring me great joy, and I Thank You for continuing the journey.

This was a gift from ISACA staff with many imbedded stories! I still enjoy pool, do not smoke ci**rs, I won the Copper Clairvoyance Cup in my first year as CAE of Phelps Dodge and yes, I am from NYC and love the capital markets, that is how I won the cup!

It was wonderful to see all my Isaca New Jersey Chapt friends at their Holiday Gala. Great to catch up with old colleagues and meet new generations of IT Governance professionals.
I continue to be amazed at the energy of
ISACA, a testament to the success of the decisions made over the decades. My serving as Chapter President, Global President & Board Chair and Journal Editor in Chief for 20 years, helped me add not only technical knowledge, but also Business Acumen.

Support professionals like ISACA members are in dire need of business training and learn much from volunteering to run the Chapter organizations.

As a former CEO I was glad to provide some training for this Chapter’s Board a few years ago!! They and other Chapters have shown amazing leadership over the decades!
