About
As a consulting Director, I help my clients transform cybersecurity from a pain point to a business enabler. I have a decade of experience across six multi-billion dollar organizations leading teams of up to ten in multi-million dollar initiatives to implement solutions to modernize identity security. I know what it takes to deploy new technology when the stakes are high and mistakes mean costly outages. Having strong cybersecurity controls is critical in this day and age, but what excites me most is delighting my clients and their users by creating great experiences.
Creating things and always learning is a part of who I am. When I'm not working, I love to travel or tinker with technology to learn new things and find ways to improve the lives of my friends and family.
Happy to connect. Send me a message on LinkedIn or email me at michaelkot@icloud.com if you'd like to learn more about how I can help you
