About
I am a seasoned and strategic leader with over 20 years of experience in technology, compliance, and data protection for world-class global enterprises. As the Head of CyberX Team at Walmart, I oversee the cybersecurity for Walmart International, Incubators, and M&A, ensuring the privacy and security of customers, partners, and brands across diverse and dynamic markets.
My mission is to elevate organizational security postures and drive profitability by designing and deploying customized privacy and security programming that aligns with business goals and reduces risk exposure. Some of my key accomplishments include:
Generating annual recurring revenue by transforming an internal corporate security services model into a profitable line of business
Accelerating the deployment of new Walmart security programs from 12+ months to 8 hours and enabling the remote implementation of security frameworks by leveraging specialized toolsets, automation technologies, and standardized programs
Building a foundational GDPR-compliant privacy and security program for a global collection of brands within one year, despite a lack of allocated funding or resources
Scaling a team that conducts 5,000 security reviews and 1,500 technology contract reviews annually, establishing the foundation of an information security group recognized as a Fortune 1 organization since 2012
I am passionate about empowering my team, engaging with stakeholders, and enabling new business development with an entrepreneurial mentality and a data-driven approach. I am always eager to expand my professional network and learn from others in the field.
