Started career as IT Service Desk executive for over 2 years. Later moved on to work as Software Asset Management (SAM) Specialist. My role involved taking care of Software compliance across the company. After continuing in this role for closer to 3 years, I started working as a Risk Consultant with the Big 4s.
