I excel at bridging technical and non-technical teams, having mobilized cross-functional groups to achieve complex compliance milestones, including the development of MongoDB’s FedRAMP program. My work has been pivotal in setting up new processes and guiding the company’s compliance roadmap in collaboration with product teams.I have experience as a thought leader and an externally facing representative for the companies and teams I work with. My role extends beyond internal operations. I actively engage with industry peers, customers, and vendors, participating in high-impact meetings that open doors for our products. My involvement in marketing efforts includes speaking engagements, panel discussions, and the development of collateral that communicates our security posture to a broader audience.I'm committed to fostering a positive work culture and developing talent. I've led rotational programs and provided professional development opportunities that empower teams. My leadership is also characterized by a strategic mindset, as seen in my work with executive stakeholders and regulators, where I've provided critical insights on architecture and security controls.I bring a deep understanding of both the technical and business aspects of security to the table. I’ve supported security operations teams navigating complex challenges, such as transitioning away from costly vendors and integrating new technical implementations, all while maintaining alignment with compliance requirements. My strengths are in my ability to bring people together, develop clear communication channels, and drive strategic direction.

  At MongoDB, I lead a high-performing, global team of 20+ security and compliance professionals responsible for the security governance, risk management, and compliance of our MongoDB Atlas and Atlas for Government products. MongoDB’s GRC team leads third party audits that the company’s 49,000+ customers across various industries (financial services, healthcare, telecommunications, software, public sector, etc.) around the world use to gain confidence that their data and their customers’ data is safe everyday. This allows MongoDB Atlas and Atlas for Government to maintain 14+ industry certifications and counting, including ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, IRAP, FedRAMP, and more (find the full list here: https://www.mongodb.com/products/platform/trust). These efforts require the hard work of a team that not only has in-depth knowledge of these frameworks, but supports the organization’s efforts to develop security risk management processes, maintain extensive internally and externally facing documentation, and collaborate cross-functionally to share their expertise across the company.
