Joanne is a Principal Associate/Consultant with ThoughtWorks, where she works on internal IT Risk and Compliance, and provides consulting services to clients in the area of continuous delivery and process improvement. She made a career shift from Health Care to IT about 20 years ago, and found transferable skills such as effective communication, collaboration and focusing on the root cause of problems to be very useful. Although she finds herself talking mostly about IT Risk these days, Joanne considers herself to be an IT generalist, which allows her to take the bigger picture view of processes and how they relate to Governance, Risk and Compliance within organizations.
