Prior to her current role, Ms. Zamudio spent 17 years at Wells Fargo, where she held several key positions that shaped her expertise in risk management. From 2017 to 2025, she served as a risk management officer, leveraging her skills to address complex challenges within the organization. Between 2014 and 2018, she was responsible for internal audit and control testing, ensuring compliance and operational integrity across various departments. Her earlier tenure as business continuity coordinator from 2009 to 2014 involved developing strategies to maintain business operations during disruptions. Before transitioning into the technology sector, Ms. Zamudio worked in the emergency room at Tulane University School of Medicine from 2005 to 2008.

Her career began in New Orleans as an emergency room nurse just two weeks before Hurricane Katrina struck. The experiences gained during this period proved pivotal when she relocated to San Francisco two years later. Wells Fargo sought out Ms. Zamudio specifically for her real-world emergency experience, marking a significant turning point in her professional journey as the company looked to strengthen compliance within its technology sector. Throughout her career, Ms. Zamudio has consistently demonstrated an eagerness to assist individuals and businesses in resolving incidents, a foundational theme of her professional life.

Ms. Zamudio holds a bachelor's degree in computer and information systems security from the University of Illinois Springfield, earned in 2022.

In addition to these roles, she is also training to be a line judge with the United States Tennis Association.

Ms. Zamudio attributes her success to consistently showing up — a value instilled by the native community — which she considers foundational both morally and practically. This dedication has led her to unexpected opportunities within ISACA and beyond, demonstrating that presence is essential whether through major contributions or subtle actions.

In her personal life, Ms. Zamudio is married; her husband works in construction, and they have been together for 12 years.
