When a seemingly “unsolvable” problem arises, my company leadership look to me to solve it. I can quickly create strategies to resolve major security, infrastructure and network challenges with lean engineering teams, delivering enhanced capabilities to fuel business growth.At the helm of network and security engineering at Zelis, I developed a multi-year roadmap and executed swiftly on major initiatives to strengthen security and enhance user experience. Before I was promoted into the Security Engineering role, I oversaw infrastructure and network engineering, designing and executing high-impact solutions. Throughout my career at Zelis, Century 21 Stores, 4D Security Solutions, and prior roles, I’m known for my work ethic, hands-on mentorship, and drive to push organizations past easy solutions to get to long-term strategies that deliver real results. Some of my teams’ recent wins include: ► Boosting security and driving operational efficiencies by defining a multi-year roadmap and executing on multiple major initiatives, including building 24/7/365 Network & Security Operations Centers.► Growing the team by 150% in 1 year and adopting Agile framework to meet the demands of enhanced network and security operations. Slashed time to completion on major initiatives by at least 50%. ► Architecting and leading execution on a CapEx to OpEx model change that stabilized a failing infrastructure. This Cloud migration increased compute power by 200%, dropped project time from 2 months to a few hours, and drastically reduced high-urgency calls and resolution times.► Driving business continuity during challenging times - Implementing SASE technology to enable productive work-from-home and creating a robust disaster recovery environment/data center. ► Led multiple network and infrastructure technology transformations, maximizing operational efficiency and minimizing annual costs.MENTOR-LEADERI take a hands-on, player/coach approach to leading teams. I invest in individual growth through upskilling and build culture with monthly social events. I strongly believe that helping others become better is vital to everyone’s success.I welcome new connections. Please contact me at tomcriley@gmail.com.
