About
From the very beginning of my professional career in IT I started to gravitate towards security field. First, as a network engineer for the Department of Defense, then as an IT security auditor and finally as a security architect for one of the largest national banks.
I manage a team where we have the most fun solving difficult problems with “out of the box” ideas. Business does not wait for security controls and one must be creative to steer brilliant new business ideas away from the cliff.
