ISACA Installs New Leader for Auckland Chapter

Tatum Crisp Appointed as the First Female President of Auckland's ISACA Chapter

Tatum Crisp, a seasoned professional with over two decades of experience in technology and cybersecurity risk management, has been appointed as the first female president of the Auckland chapter of the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA). The Rotary Club, an organization that promotes service, fellowship, and integrity, made the announcement.

Crisp, who currently serves as the Head of Technology Risk at Westpac NZ, brings a wealth of knowledge and a fresh approach to her role. Her expertise spans across both the New Zealand and United Kingdom financial services sectors, having held previous roles at ASB, Sovereign (now AIA), Barclays Bank, and PWC.

Crisp expressed her privilege to lead the dedicated group of professionals at ISACA, stating, "I am honoured to be given the opportunity to lead such a vibrant and supportive network of individuals who are passionate about audit, governance, risk, privacy, and cybersecurity."

Crisp's career has been significantly influenced by ISACA. She has personally benefited from being a member throughout her career and is now associated with ISACA's SheLeadsTech initiative, which supports, mentors, and advocates for women in technology.

ISACA's SheLeadsTech initiative is a global programme aimed at fostering leadership and professional growth for women in technology. Jo Stewart-Rattray, ISACA's Oceania Ambassador, stated that Crisp will ensure a vibrant and supportive network for members.

In her role at Westpac NZ, Crisp leads a team of highly specialized risk professionals. She has a particular interest in understanding the impact of behaviors and habits on decision-making and risk-taking. This interest aligns with her passion for driving innovation and growth in the IT and cybersecurity sectors.

ISACA, with its global presence, provides knowledge, credentials, training, and community in these areas. The organisation's mission is to empower professionals to drive innovation, manage risk, and achieve business objectives.

Crisp's appointment as the first female president of the 40-year-old Auckland branch is a significant step towards gender diversity in leadership roles within the technology sector. Her leadership is expected to inspire and empower women in technology, fostering a more inclusive and diverse industry.
