About Jerry R. Ventura

Background

I am a prior employee for small and large-scale companies that include The Walt Disney Company, MGM Resorts International, The United States Air Force, and Momentus Space. Being a United States Air Force Veteran has contributed to my respect and integrity for people and the job functions I currently perform and have performed in the past.


I’ve also held Top Secret and Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) clearances in the past.

I currently have an MBA and an MS in Business Analytics from Syracuse University. I have a Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems as well. With my current education and background in Information Security and IT Compliance, I feel I am a good fit for this position. 


I have worked with many position levels in the past and feel comfortable managing meetings and preparing/giving presentations to other staff members as well as external non-staff members. I have also collaborated with many departments across prior companies including Corporate, Legal, Project Management, Internal Audit, just to name a few. I have worked with external 3rdparty vendors as well.


I have ultimately loved all the positions and companies I have worked at before, but I am always looking for new and exciting opportunities that await me.
