COO| President| Cyber Security & Technology Transformation Executive| Revenue Growth, P&L, GTM & Operational Excellence| AI-Security Innovation| Board Member & Industry Speaker
For 20+ years, I've helped organizations across financial services, healthcare, and technology build security programs that enable growth rather than just prevent attacks. My approach combines deep technical expertise with business acumen to deliver measurable results. My transformation track record includes scaling a cybersecurity business from $20M to $90M revenue through 3x growth, leading a 500+ person global organization through operational excellence, and driving 40%+ year-over-year growth in competitive security services markets in a PE backed organization. I've implemented AI-powered security solutions for Fortune 500 clients and consistently delivered results that matter to the bottom line. Security is not merely about protection. It is about enabling innovation. The most successful organizations treat cybersecurity as a strategic enabler of digital transformation, not a roadblock to progress. This philosophy has guided my work across industries and continues to shape how I approach every challenge. My expertise spans AI-driven security operations and automation, identity and access management transformation, executive leadership and organizational development, P&L management and revenue growth, and board governance and risk management. I'm currently exploring how AI will fundamentally reshape cybersecurity and helping organizations prepare for this transformation. I'm available for board positions, advisory roles, and speaking opportunities. I serve on boards for Women in Technology, Women in Identity, Forgepoint Capital, and Technology Association of Georgia.
