About
I love working in security leadership because it affords me the opportunity to challenge myself and those around me on a daily basis to solve problems at technical, organizational and personal levels.
I am passionate about team-building and program design, and use my 20+ years of experience in technology to help design solutions to complex problems across a wide array or teams, skills and backgrounds.
While my technical depth is primarily in systems and network security, I find that my greatest skills are actually related to communication, presentation and empathy, which allows me to listen, understand, and collaborate on sharing complex requirements and visions to align priorities.
I have been very fortunate to work with an amazingly diverse list of organizations. From SMB to Fortune 50, in many verticals such as loyalty, hospitality, travel, energy, healthcare, financial, legal, government, manufacturing, retail, ecommerce and infrastructure.
