Background

About Kari Ward

With over 24 years of experience analyzing business challenges, I have a knack for providing customer solutions for growth based on their needs and objectives. I am a skilled communicator who can collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to define business processes and gather the information that results in informed decision-making. I can develop and maintain MS SQL databases for organization and accuracy, and manage end-to-end projects resulting in the creation of cost-saving business offerings. I possess expert knowledge in MS Windows network administration, desktop operating systems, message creation, troubleshooting, remote access administration and support, and advanced client support. A self-starter, I can function independently but also work as part of a team. In my most recent endeavor as Senior IT Security Analyst for FIS I spearheaded processes that protected the company against unauthorized access, effectively preserving its systems and information assets. My expertise lies in the following areas: • IT/Business Analysis • IT Risk Assessment • IT Project Management • Security Audits • Process Documentation • Requirements Gathering • Data Analysis/Migration • Team Leadership • Client Relationship Management
