At OneTouch Direct and OMNI-Cloud Solutions we're creating new team environments by creating a safe space where team members can be open with each other without fear of incrimination or judgment. By building that trust we're improving communication and breaking down walls. Leadership includes taking the lead on that honest open sharing.I want to build a self managing, self discipline work place where people like me are only needed to set the vision and point the team in the right direction and say "Go get it!".As part of the Executive team at OneTouch Direct for the past 15 years I've helped guide the business from startup to north of $70M. Not only from a technology and security perspective but also from a business strategy perspective.I've taken pride in the fact that I was able to envision the future of the business from the beginning, developed the road map to the destination and executed on that road map seeing the vision come to fruition. All the while applying the suitable level of process and controls appropriate for the business at whatever stage in the life cycle we were.As CISO I designed and built the enterprise security framework, organization, controls, policies and procedures from the ground up achieving PCI and SOC compliance.Having led IT organizations for startups and established enterprises, I am continuously looking forward to what’s next in technological advances and how they can solve business challenges. With broad-based IT experience and accomplishments spanning over 15-years within a variety of industries, my demonstrated leadership skills include strategic planning, change management, and building solutions to complex global issues.Using my leadership skills, coupled with proven abilities in developing, selecting, integrating, and implementing enterprise-wide systems, I can ensure optimal productivity, up-time, security, and positive user and customer experience across the enterprise.

Highly resourceful, I have a history of identifying and capitalizing on opportunities to cut costs, drive innovation and quality, increase efficiency/productivity, and ensure customer excellence. As a former entrepreneur, I understand and appreciate the many facets of business and can be influential in cross-departmental collaborations.
