About
I am an accomplished, solutions-driven IT Security Executive with over 25 years of experience developing and managing enterprise-wide IT security, risk management, governance and compliance programs within Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 organizations. As a cybersecurity thought leader, I have successfully established and implemented visionary information security strategies to realize business objectives and mitigate risk. In addition, I possess strong financial and business acumen with a high commitment to ethics and standards and am proficient in data-driven reporting, delivery assurance, and incident response.
A strategic thought leader, I hold the rare ability to comprehend, analyze and effectively communicate cybersecurity risks in a clear and concise manner. My military background has honed my direct communication style, allowing me to effectively tailor my messaging to suit the needs of my business partners. I consistently deliver strategic insights to C-Suite leaders, providing meaningful metrics and key risk exposures, as well as actionable recommendations for mitigation. I am uniquely able to influence diverse stakeholders, gather buy-in and align under a common goal. This work has been positively acknowledged by C-suite leaders.
In addition to my professional experience, I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Physics, a Master’s Degree in IT Management, and an MBA. As an active community member, I currently serve on many boards, including Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kentuckiana where I will become the Chair in June 2024. Additionally, I participate in the BeyondRisk Security Advisory Board.
