As Director of Information and Cyber Security at Tyson Foods, a $53 billion global leader in the food industry, I bring over 25 years of experience leading transformative initiatives across cybersecurity and IT. From driving the adoption of facial authentication for over 100,000 frontline team members to eliminating password challenges, I focus on simplifying security to enable business success.My leadership philosophy centers on servant leadership—empowering teams to thrive through mentorship, regular engagement, and recognition. This approach has not only elevated team performance but also led to multiple awards for team members and my own nomination for Tyson’s Manager’s Excellence Award.Throughout my career, I’ve navigated the complexities of major acquisitions and divestitures, including the $8.5 billion Hillshire Brands acquisition, identifying synergies and achieving operational improvements. I’ve also delivered millions in cost savings through strategic contract negotiations and streamlined processes. I’ve managed diverse cybersecurity domains, including Identity and Access Management (IAM), Data Security, Infrastructure Security, SAP Security, and Application Security as a direct report to the CISO. Beyond Tyson Foods, I contribute to advancing the cybersecurity industry by having served on various advisory boards including the OKTA Workforce Customer Advisory Board, the Symantec Customer Advisory Board (as a Trusted Advisor), and the NWACC Cyber Security Advisory Board. These roles allow me to collaborate with peers and shape the future of security practices.A certified CISM and CISSP, I am passionate about reducing friction in security while strengthening defenses. Whether speaking at conferences on topics like account takeover threats or pioneering passwordless authentication, I remain committed to enabling secure, seamless experiences that support both people and business goals.Spouse of an EU citizen.
