About
I build and mature enterprise privacy and cybersecurity programs. I start by developing high performing teams. Together, we focus on results and strategic capability to enable what's important: student success, world class research, and land grant mission objectives. We do so through excellence in privacy, governance, risk, cyber intelligence; vulnerability, threat, and risk assessment; incident response, business continuity, forensics, security architecture, strategic services; software development assurance; R&D, identity & access management; business continuity, training, outreach, and regulatory compliance.
I am always, always, always trying to put the Chuck from six months ago out of business.
I aspire to enable greatness, build effective, focused, scalable, elegant programs; inspire the very best in my teams, and make a real difference.
