I’m a cybersecurity and technology executive known for protecting data, assets, and operations for global organizations. I shape strategies and design programs that safeguard companies while accelerating growth, jumpstarting profitability, and elevating customer and employee experiences.

As a leader, I make connections and build bridges—bringing people together at every organizational level. I work shoulder to shoulder with teams and stakeholders to create a stronger, more resilient company. Together, we mitigate risk, combat threats, and stand out from the competition.

Here’s something unique about my approach:
I focus on the experience of security, not the rules and policies themselves. Rather than instructing my team to enforce ironclad security protocols and burden busy employees with a bunch of “do this, don’t do that” demands, I empower them to engage people in real conversations about issues that impact the company.

As a result, we become partners to the business, not adversaries. We drive change and strengthen the security posture—reducing risk without forcing the air out of the room.

A few highlights from my career:
• 25+ years as a cybersecurity and IT leader, strategist, and innovator—working with some of the world’s largest companies in retail, healthcare, financial services, and consumer goods.
• Expertise protecting and supporting Fortune 100 and other organizations through across-the-board security leadership: risk, governance, compliance, threat intelligence, incident response, training, etc.
• Skilled in developing global security practices, standards, and solutions from the ground up.
• Reputation for offering a fresh—and refreshing—perspective on security that ignites morale, increases compliance, and supports the bottom line.

Additional qualifications:
– Curious, lifelong learner.
– Proactive and pragmatic problem solver—with an eye on innovation.
– Relevant education and credentials, including a degree in Cybersecurity & Information Assurance, Carnegie Mellon’s CISO program, GIAC training and credentials, ITSMF Executive Academy, NACD training, and others.
– People-focused leader and talent multiplier who encourages diversity of background, experience, and ideas.
– Extensive network of contacts includes CEOs, CISOs, and CTOs in the public and private sectors.
