About
I try to make what seems impossible and boring achievable and fun. In a world of compliance and policies, working with businesses to create innovative and effective security and privacy operation strategies is my passion. Like policy ninjas, we work together to minimize risks and maximize productivity for agile environments. Sounds amazing right? To me it does.
I love the intersection of business operations, IT and law. Equipped with the skills to talk statistics with analyst, techie enough to chat the Systems Administrators and business savvy enough to engage the C-suite and attorneys, I am like the Swiss army knife of IT and Privacy compliance.
I would love to help you accomplish your cyber-security and privacy goals. It will be fun. Let’s get started!
