About
I am a mid-career professional with experience and training in Cybersecurity, Systems Engineering, project management and team leadership. I believe that finding the balance between security and operational needs is the key to the successful introduction of security into any business process. This requires not just a cost analysis but a risk analysis to determine the value of what an organization is trying to protect. This is where my experience makes me a unique business asset as I can bring together both the business and security sides of an organization to reach consensus on what security measures make sense for the organization.
