About

I always had a passion for technology, stepping seamlessly from a career in the United States Marine Corps as a Cryptologic Linguist into the corporate world with IBM before progressing to C-level as CISO for two start-up and scaling organizations, Global Risk Advisors and Qrypt. I enjoy applying my technical, strategic, and operational acumen.

My comprehensive knowledge of security enables me to drive a competitive advantage by looking at security challenges through a business lens and balancing that with my extensive technical know-how. I gain a helicopter view of an organization gleaning its objectives and goals and shape a security vision to deliver business outcomes.

I turn security into a business enabler by building and harnessing the power of alliances and shifting the security organization into a proactive provider of integrated, consumable solutions that utilize tools that allow companies to act on threats before they happen. I pride myself on bridging the gap between business and technology.

A motivational and engaging leader, I am comfortable at a senior leadership level, steering decisions as the chair of information risk and security tasks forces, but equally at ground level, innovating and safeguarding compliance.
