About Us

Yan Zhang

I’m Yan Zhang, MBA—part security strategist, part risk wrangler, and full-time compliance gal. With a background that spans finance, audit, and security, I’ve led risk management and compliance programs at AWS and Amazon.com, tackling global regulations and high-stakes incidents. Whether managing large-scale security projects, overseeing multi-billion-dollar budgets, or building AWS’s first China compliance program, I thrive on transforming complex challenges into scalable, strategic solutions.

Alexa Dazzo

I’m Alexa Dazzo—a security and GRC leader who thrives on strategy, execution, and program management. With a background in actuarial science, mathematics, and business, I bring a data-driven approach to solving complex business challenges. From companies like AWS (ironically, not as their voice assistant) to Datavant, I’ve built security and GRC programs, executed strategies that scale, hired global teams, and tackled complex risk challenges. I help turn chaos into structure—no wake word required.
