At Sonatype, I report to the VP of InfoSec. I spearhead the comprehensive overhaul of our IT and integration with the InfoSec team, including architecting and implementing a robust zero-trust environment. My leadership was pivotal in transitioning our identity and access management (IAM) system to Okta, implementing MDM, enhancing security, and streamlining access controls across our global, fully remote software security company.
