From my first job doing data entry (where I discovered I could fix the computers better than anyone else in the company) until now, I have not lost my passion for new technology and helping understand how technology can best help individuals and enterprises achieve results, without getting in their way. I have evolved into an experienced product manager who produces quality teams and products.I am a security-focused product manager who has strong experience leading teams and directing the growth and development of products. My background in start-up based Project Management means I am very comfortable meeting with customers, prospects, and analysts in order to determine the best investment we can make in our product development. I also enjoy communicating the needs of those disparate communities to the engineering teams, be it in agile or waterful development. I understand the balance needed between providing a secure environment and allowing an organization to perform their business operations. This comes from my experience evaluating the security posture of a company and defining both IT/Security goals for an organization as well as creating the plan to achieve those goals.I am very comfortable at presenting at large conferences for both technical and managerial audiences. I understand the needs of the C-Suite and the folks who keep the business engines running, and so am often asked by sales and marketing to present to clients and prospects. These presentations can be on the value of our products, the state of security at that point in time or leading discussions on how that group could establish or streamline their IT or security processes by leveraging my technology.
