I have been working in the information security and technology space for over 20 years, with over 10 years of that experience focused on strategic security and technology consulting across a variety of industries and organizations. My focus is working with organizations looking to leverage and optimize their use of technical solutions and information to improve enterprise operations and increase security posture. Business, IT, and security executives leverage my business and technical knowledge and expertise to get up to speed with the new world of IT in the latest in cloud and AI technologies, all while staying secure and adapting and shifting their use of the continuous stream of new technologies to best align with their organizational goals and initiatives. I pride myself on maintaining my technical prowess in the field while also having the skills necessary to work directly with business leaders and effectively lead teams and businesses as we navigate complex challenges together.My journeys as a consultant over the last decade have given me the opportunity to advise companies from conception through IPO, during massive growth, reorganizations, commercialization, and helping navigate darker times during financial crisis or cybersecurity events and the recovery from them. I believe that successful IT and security must be centered around people and their experience interacting with technologies: As a principal in charge of diverse teams of engineers, business analysts, project mangers, and other SMEs, my natural ability to recognize and reward hard work and dedication has allowed me and my teams to build a culture of success even during the most difficult and trying projects.
