Bio
Roswell LaPierre
I had the pleasure of working with Ramon Galarza at Baxter Clewis Consulting where we were both consultants working on projects pertaining to PCI-DSS compliance. During his time at Baxter Clewis, Ramon Galarza demonstrated a strong understanding of GRC principles and practices. He also was very highly motivated and results-oriented individual during my time with him. One of Ramon Galarza's most notable achievements was his help with successful implementation of a new framework hardening for a client. This framework helped to improve the company's security posture and compliance with industry regulations. Ramon Galarza also played a key role in developing and implementing a number of other GRC initiatives, such as a risk management program and creating a training program for employees. In addition to their technical skills, Ramon Galarza is also an excellent communicator and collaborator. They are able to clearly explain complex PCI compliance concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. They are also a team player and are always willing to help others. I have no doubt that Ramon Galarza would be an asset to any GRC or PCI-DSS team. They are a highly skilled and experienced individual with a proven track record of success. I highly recommend them for the position.
