I build information security programs that empower the business. I lead security strategy across security operations, engineering, and architecture – translating cyber risks into decisions executives can act on. My career has been a mix of startups and established companies, often as an early security hire. That taught me to set direction, build cross-functional collaboration, and get hands-on when needed. I’ve unified programs across business units and geographies, integrated multiple acquisitions, modernized SOC and incident response, advanced zero-trust framework, strengthened IAM governance, established DevSecOps program, and made compliance lighter through automation and continuous control monitoring.
