  • Conduct after-action reviews following exercises and incidents to ensure learnings are gathered and corrective actions are implemented to improve organizational resilience.
  • Collaborate with multiple stakeholder groups to collect and utilize data to develop and refine business continuity strategies as needed.
  • Support business recovery sites (where applicable), remote access solutions for Bloomberg employees, and other recovery strategies.
  • Track metrics and key performance indicators to demonstrate readiness, enable identification of gaps, and improve resiliency of the organization.
