Me and my job

Me and my job

Me and my job - Bernie Donnelly, vice president of quality assurance, Philadelphia Stock Exchange

I got into security in the 80s. Auditors came in and you would have the technology group managing passwords on the mainframe. They asked for a separation of duties. QA was the independent group and we became the security guys.
