- Women Lead | Gokcen Tapkan
Learn about Gokcen Tapkan, Director of Data Research for Black Kite, and TPRA's WNTPRM March 2024 Leader Spotlight. < See All < Previous Next > Gokcen Tapkan Director of Data Research Black Kite Biography Gokcen Tapkan is the Director of Data Research at Black Kite, where she plays a key role in leading cutting-edge AI and ML projects combining her past experience in cybersecurity, compliance and risk. With a background in cryptography, cybersecurity, and compliance, she brings 10+ years of expertise in the government sector, particularly in military-level information security. Since 2012, she has been an Expert Evaluator for European Projects. Holding a master's degree in Computer Engineering from Bosphorus University, Gokcen is not only dedicated to her professional role but also actively engaged in a charitable AI project focused on supporting children on the autism spectrum. Her commitment to leveraging technology for social good is a testament to her passion for making a positive impact Leadership Characteristics Gokcen would describe herself as a pro-active, multi-tasking, human champion person Leadership Challenges About three years ago, we encountered a significant challenge with a Compliance Automation project using an off-the-shelf large language model (LLM) for AI. As we delved into the data daily, it became apparent that something wasn't quite right with the model outcomes, so we decided to develop our own model. Within four months, the notion of developing this in-house model evolved into a full-time research project. Despite the maturity of the idea, resources were not as mature at that time. Fast forward to today, and LLMs, along with various models and services, are experiencing almost exponential growth. During those challenging times, we faced numerous sleepless nights, investing hours in data analysis, outcome evaluation and re-engineering- and I say "we"- because I was doing this with my team. Fortunately, back then, and still today, I have the support of an exceptional team — mostly women. Working in a relatively niche area, extracting meaningful model outcomes from the project posed a formidable challenge that ultimately proved successful. The journey was both painful and empowering. Key Take-a-ways "Stepping out of comfort zones and the endless pursuit of knowledge are pieces of advice generously shared by remarkable women in technology. But here's my take: always find something that genuinely inspires you. It's not about jumping from one thing to another; it's about discovering that sweet spot where passion and purpose align. The spot where you are unique and can fulfill yourself." Fun Fact One of my proudest moments in my career was when the European Commission offered me a contract to be their go-to for evaluating tech projects aiming for funding from the European Union. It was a tough and stressful gig, but I was up for the challenge. And there's a twist. Right in the middle of this whirlwind, I welcomed my first baby into the world. He was a tiny three-month-old when I took on this role that had me volleying between Brussels and working remotely with a brand new baby in my life. But I was determined to be there for him and nurse him until he hit the one-year mark. I did a bit of risk management and weighed my options. Rejecting the job seemed like slamming the door on future opportunities, so I went for it. I wasn't about to compromise on my commitment to nurse my son for at least a year. I made a setup in the Brussels office, complete with a pumping station to keep my nursing goal on track. During meetings, people couldn't help but notice his cute picture on my laptop background. Cue the questions: Who's this adorable baby? Who's looking after him and feeding him? (Cue the laughter upon the response.) Then after welcoming my second child, I needed to figure out how to be a nursing mom on a business trip. I was experienced now, so I used a similar station setup even while traveling.
- Women Lead | Paige Johnson
Learn about Paige Johnson, SVP, Director of Third-Party Risk Management for Stellar Bank, and TPRA's WNTPRM May 2026 Leader Spotlight. < See All < Previous Next > Paige Johnson SVP, Director of Third-Party Risk Management Stellar Bank Biography Paige is an experienced Third‑Party Risk and Compliance leader with more than 20 years supporting organizations in highly regulated global energy and financial services industries. She began her career in finance, audit, and compliance roles within large, complex organizations before advancing into global compliance and ethics leadership at a Fortune 50 energy company, where she led the global third‑party risk strategy, supported a commodity trading floor, and oversaw due diligence and KYC programs across the U.S., London, and Singapore. Throughout her career, Paige has focused on strengthening governance, modernizing corporate compliance and TPRM programs, and implementing scalable, technology‑enabled solutions aligned with evolving regulatory expectations. Paige now serves as SVP and Director of Third‑Party Risk Management at Stellar Bank, where she was recruited to modernize and elevate the enterprise TPRM program during a period of significant organizational transformation, including post‑merger integration and preparation for an upcoming acquisition. She has led TPRM functions through major transitions, bringing stability, clarity, and strategic direction during times of change. She holds the Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) and Certified Corporate Compliance & Ethics Professional – International (CCEP‑I) credentials and remains committed to advancing the TPRM discipline through continuous learning, mentorship, and community leadership. Leadership Characteristics Paige is known for her approachable leadership style and her ability to create a collaborative, supportive environment where people feel valued and empowered.

Paige brings structure to complex environments and excels at aligning diverse stakeholders around common goals. She has a talent for translating regulatory expectations into practical, sustainable programs and guiding teams through thoughtful, well‑informed decision‑making. She is especially strong in periods of transformation, where her steady presence, strategic mindset, and genuine investment in developing others help teams navigate uncertainty with confidence. Leadership Challenges Regardless of industry, one consistent challenge is shifting the perception of Third‑Party Risk Management from a check‑the‑box compliance exercise to a truly value‑added discipline. Paige focuses on building trusted, collaborative relationships across functions and then work to reposition TPRM as a strategic partner and business enabler—demonstrating how strong, well‑designed risk practices drive smarter, faster, and more informed decision‑making. Key Take-a-ways Paige’s favorite aspect of Third‑Party Risk Management is its ability to bring together people, processes, and technology to protect an organization while enabling responsible growth. She enjoys the cross‑functional nature of the work, the opportunity to influence enterprise strategy, and the constant evolution of the discipline. For her, TPRM is at its best when it empowers the business—helping teams make informed decisions, strengthening trust with partners, and building a culture of integrity across the value chain. Fun Fact Paige is a longtime volunteer and community leader, serving with organizations such as United Way, Junior Achievement, and National Charity League. Outside of work, she stays busy with her three children and especially loves supporting their competitive swimming journey. She also enjoys creative outlets—whether diving into home design inspiration, traveling, or exploring new local spots around Houston.

- Women Lead | Lisa-Mae Hill
Learn about Lisa-Mae Hill, Director for Venminder, and TPRA's WNTPRM November 2024 Leader Spotlight. < See All < Previous Next > Lisa-Mae Hill Director Venminder Biography Lisa is and dynamic and results-driven Information Security and TPRM Professional with over 15 years of experience, most currently leading a team of 12 in delivering comprehensive risk management, third-party risk management, vendor management, and cybersecurity solutions. Lisa is charged with managing complex projects, mitigating risks for her clients through comprehensive information security and regulation based assessments, and fostering strong relationships to enhance confidence. Lisa is known for her leadership skills and has a laser focus on team development and the growth of her team's professional and personal development. Lisa believes strongly (and has proven in her role) that operational excellence comes from a team that is challenged, rewarded and treated with respect and kindness. She has worked both in the private and public sector as well as across industries and has a love for helping clients feel confident about their Vendor Management program and the direction they take to assess and vet Vendors. She loves to take a complex process like integrating Information Security and technology into TPRM and make it feel attainable and manageable for any level of experience. Her passion is professional education and loves doing webinars, talks and classes for the TPRM and InfoSec community. Leadership Characteristics This was written by an employee (Travis Helton): To Lisa, Lisa, you embody the perfect blend of courage, humility, and care. Your unwavering bravery in the face of challenges inspires us all to push beyond our limits. Despite your remarkable achievements, you remain incredibly humble, always giving credit where it’s due and never seeking the spotlight for yourself. Your thoughtfulness shines through in the small, meaningful gestures that make each team member feel valued and appreciated. Whether it’s a kind word, a thoughtful note, or simply taking the time to listen, your actions consistently show how much you care. You are more than just a leader; you are a friend and mentor who feels like family. Your friendly demeanor creates a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable and supported. You are always approachable, ready to offer guidance and encouragement, no matter how busy you are. In times of crisis, your calm and composed nature provides a steady hand, guiding us through with confidence and grace. Your genuine kindness and unwavering support make you a pillar of strength, and your dedication to the well-being and growth of your team is truly inspiring. You don’t just lead; you uplift, nurture, and inspire everyone around you, making our workplace feel like a second home. I share this because I am not good at talking about myself and this came unexpectedly today from an employee. Leadership Challenges We have had great change in our company over the last 2 years and I am proud to say that our team worked together through every challenge and came out stronger then ever. I have found the hardest part about leadership is balancing the needs of the business and the people that the business needs. I have always erred on the side of taking care of my team and clients because I firmly believe that the stronger the confidence and loyalty in the team, the better you will always be. Key Take-a-ways TPRM is challenging because you are tasked with accountability and responsibility yet have no control over those that you need information from. It can be frustrating, but the most important thing to remember is a proactive approach with the knowledge of what you want to do and see from your Vendors is key. This helps you stay consistent and gives clear direction to your Vendors! Fun Fact I am a huge dog lover, a mom and a wife. I have a very grumpy old lady Pug, Jazzy Pants as well as an old man black Lab named Cooper. I am also a girl mom with two feral and wild minis that make me laugh everyday as well as double the grey hairs. I love to travel with my husband and I absolutely love to read.

- Women Lead | Hilary Jewhurst
Learn about Hilary Jewhurst, Head of Third-Party Risk Education & Advocacy for Venminder, and TPRA's WNTPRM November 2024 Leader Spotlight. < See All < Previous Next > Hilary Jewhurst Head of Third-Party Risk Education & Advocacy Venminder Biography Hilary leads the advancement and promotion of third-party risk management best practices and solutions through thought leadership, subject matter expertise, and support for Venminder’s customers, Marketing, Sales, and Third-Party Risk divisions. Hilary has served as a senior leader for over 20 years, working in operations management, and risk management roles, with an emphasis on third-party risk. Hilary successfully built, improved, and managed enterprise-wide third-party risk management frameworks and programs for leading financial services companies. She has designed and developed training materials, reference guides, desk-top procedures, job aids, checklists, and templates for a full spectrum of learning environments and learners as well as personally trained hundreds of third-party risk managers, vendor relationship managers, and vendors. Leadership Characteristics "As a naturally curious individual, I constantly seek to expand my knowledge and learn new things. Sometimes, this means saying, "I don't know, let's find out together." Or recognizing that collaborating with others is critical to finding the best solution. I want to lead by example, and by admitting my own limitations, I can create a safe environment where others feel comfortable embracing a mindset of continuous improvement and growth. I also adhere to the principle that is its unnecessary to cling to a mistake just because it’s yours. If something isn't working, don't waste time agonizing; put your energy into fixing it instead." Leadership Challenges "I am a huge fan of simplicity and practicality, anything that is over engineered or needlessly complex frustrates me. Throughout my career, I have frequently been given instructions to implement processes or initiatives that didn't seem to be thoroughly planned out or well considered beforehand. I haven't always found it easy to navigate these situations but learning which battles to fight can be a game-changer. While some may see pushing back as problematic, I've found that sometimes you must trust your instincts and speak up vs. going along to get along. Honestly, it took a fair amount of time and numerous failed attempts before I was able to correctly identify which battles were worth fighting and how to approach them more constructively. This involved adopting a collaborative mindset, respecting the opinions and views of others, and focusing on achieving the best possible outcome, even if that isn't the outcome I most prefer." Key Take-a-ways "Interestingly, the challenges and demands of TPRM can feel painfully familiar to women who have been subjected to traditional gender roles that frequently demand rampant multitasking, a lot of emotional labor, and constantly attending to the needs of others while attempting to balance life's demands. Non-TPRM professionals often find it challenging to comprehend the intricacy of this practice. TPRM professionals are not only expected to be experts in risk management but also excel in process design, project management, relationship management, analysis, and regulatory compliance. And undertake additional other unofficial responsibilities such as being an auditor, facilitator, teacher, coach, and sometimes even a counselor. And as much as I hate gender stereotypes and do my best to avoid perpetuating them, it is a fact that many women, me included, have encountered significant obstacles in the workplace. These challenges often involve being undervalued, overworked, underrepresented, and lacking access to essential resources to perform their jobs effectively. Although TPRM can be a challenging job, as a woman it presented me with the unexpected and somewhat rare opportunity to work with a broad range of stakeholders and demonstrate my diverse skillset every day. There were always problems to solve, which meant there were plenty of opportunities to succeed. And it’s worth noting that the responsibility and accountability that comes with being a TPRM practitioner increased my visibility, often to key decision makers and senior leadership. Considering how difficult it can be for women to succeed in corporate America, if I had understood just how much TPRM would enhance my personal growth, accelerate my career trajectory, and improve my opportunities, I would have pursued the TPRM path much sooner." Fun Fact "I recently moved to a new city and had been looking for new and interesting ways to become involved in my local community. As a history enthusiast who loves spooky stories, I’m delighted that I have been recruited to research, write, and lead a weekly history and ghost tour to raise funds to preserve the town’s historic cemetery."

Her resilience, willingness to learn, and commitment to continuous growth have enabled her to successfully lead cross-functional teams and build strong partnerships. Key Take-a-ways What I enjoy most about TPRM is the ability to influence positive outcomes without always having direct authority. Success comes from building trust, fostering collaboration, and helping stakeholders navigate risk while still achieving their goals.

I love that TPRM allows me to combine strategy, problem-solving, relationship building, and risk management while helping the organization achieve its mission. Outside of work, I'm busy keeping up with my two elementary-school-aged children. They get a kick out of the fact that I can recite all 50 states in alphabetical order thanks to a song I learned in fifth grade. It also taught me that if you put something to music, there's a good chance you'll remember it forever, whether you want to or not!
