Ep 250: Process Improvement Starts with Curiosity w/ Genna Smith (RYAM)

This week on The Audit Podcast, we're joined by Genna Smith, Director of Internal Audit at RYAM.

She believes process improvement starts with mindset, and that even the smallest changes can lead to real impact. In this episode, she shares how she's using tools like ChatGPT to build SOPs from the ground up, standardize processes, and support her team through AI adoption.

We also hear how she approaches ERM, why curiosity is her top hiring trait, and how rebuilding a 2007 Forerunner taught her lessons she brings into leadership. If you're interested in practical ways to improve your audit function or how to lead with intention, this one's for you.
