As a chief information security officer and trusted business advisor with deep experience positioning organizations for scaled growth, I help companies develop and implement global information security programs, risk management practices, technology systems, and business process improvements. I introduce application and infrastructure improvements that increase efficiency, reduce costs, and drive revenue while ensuring regulatory compliance. By motivating and empowering high-performing teams while recruiting and upskilling talent, I collaboratively maximize service delivery and security posture. Below is a selection of the top accomplishments from my career:● Significantly matured the security posture of Brown & Brown, Inc., on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)’s scale within three years. Seamlessly established and institutionalized a centralized security program that aligned with all regulatory requirements by utilizing my information security program and policy development skills. Successfully defended the organization from cybersecurity threats by leveraging my zero trust security architecture solutioning expertise. ● Ensuring Marsh, Inc.’s fulfillment of all US data privacy and regulatory requirements by leading with my data privacy and regulatory risk management skills to support reporting and compliance activities. Negotiated third-party software terms; assembled a dynamic, collaborative team by exercising my dynamic leadership skills; and managed incident responses to mitigate overall cybersecurity risk.● Positioning Mercer for ongoing strategic growth by applying my IT systems development delivery and support skills to execute a pilot healthcare exchange program. This program allowed for internal systems to seamlessly integrate with vendor cloud platforms.I am excited to expand my professional network and see what the future may hold.
