I love to dig into customer problems and solve them with modern technology. I create, scale, and optimize security solutions that matter. To do this, I focus on delivering key outcomes, building amazing teams and quickly adapting to new findings.I have enjoyed many executive and leadership positions throughout my career in the US Navy, small and large consultancies, the US Government, and now as a company founder. My personal and professional experiences have taught me the following about myself:I successfully deliver solutions that solve real problems.- I put the customer or end-user at the center of everything I do.- I excel at the execution of big ideas with given constraints- I’m able to simplify complex problems into simple solutions- I create bold strategies that people coalesce behindI can align, lead, and grow world-class teams from 2 to 325 people.- No one wins if the team doesn't win. There is no place for selfishness. - I speak tech and exec- I tell great stories that motivate and explain- The buck always stops with meI constantly learn to make sure I stay ahead of trends in technology, policy, and culture- I read voraciously- I can work in any environment - from war zones to boardrooms.- I focus on making high-quality decisions with limited informationI enjoy meeting new people and hearing new perspectives.
