Cecilie Hoffman
Business Architect
Truist Financial Corporation
Cecilie’s 40-plus years of professional experience include a variety of regulated industries such as financial services, transportation, and bio-tech. She began her career in the role of “knowledge engineer” (the best job title, ever). She learned how to be a catalyst while in the role of business analyst. Becoming a certified business architect was a game-changing career move. She managed enterprise architecture governance operations as her professional swan song. Now retired, Cecilie continues to serve as a co-lead of the Government Reference Model team and is an active member of both the Common Reference Model and Tooling collaboration teams.
