About
Network and Cybersecurity Leader with proven experience at multibillion-dollar companies. I enjoy tackling challenges. In my job, I often develop strategies, roadmaps, and execution of enterprise innovations and transformations. I have always had a natural aptitude for technology, and it was an easy fit for me. Technology is very dynamic and changes so quickly. You must constantly learn to stay ahead of emerging technologies and industry changes.
I know we get things done through other people. I’m a people-first manager and am viewed as a coach and mentor. I build my team, and I support each person so they can excel at their job. I always celebrate any time one of my team members gets a promotion and advances their career.
I like to meet new people in the field, so let’s connect.
