I transform how organizations think about security. Instead of being the department that says "no," I build bridges that turn security into a strategic enabler. My superpower? Taking complex security challenges and turning them into opportunities for innovation and growth.At Dropbox, I unified 25 separate functions into a cohesive security powerhouse. At Amazon, I transformed 1,500 developers into security champions. But what really drives me is seeing teams light up when they realize security can be their competitive advantage, not their roadblock.When I'm not revolutionizing security programs, you'll find me amplifying diverse voices in cybersecurity as Speaker Operations Co-Chair at The Diana Initiative Conference and serving on the Content Advisory Board for BSides Seattle.
