Hologic Inc.
Director, IT Operations and Networks
About
IT Infrastructure and Security leader, recognized for exceptional delivery of services and solutions. My focus on team cohesion and continuous improvement helps drive execution and maintain high morale.
I have consistently provided the vision necessary to define sustainable strategies by balancing new, sometimes disruptive technologies with traditional approaches. Augmented this by building strong relationships with stakeholders and business partners.
While at Hologic initiated early adoption of:
► Firewalls and remote access hardware from Netscreen (now Juniper)
► Intrusion prevention systems and NextGen firewalls from Palo Alto
► Cloud based solutions for SIEM by EiQ and Email filtering from Postini (now Gmail)
► Storage and virtualization solutions from EMC such as VMware, Clariion and Isilon
► WAN acceleration from Cisco
AEW has a more modest enterprise but manages billions in dollars of assets, so the stakes are just as high. Some accomplishments while there:
► Moved the high risk on premises data center to a secure and robust top tier hosting facility
► Ensured high availability and reinforced disaster recovery with SRM and vRanger
► Implemented security policies and introduced vulnerability scanning from Rapid7
► Made this possible by reorganizing the team into a group of skilled and motivated engineers
I am passionate about technology and love helping to resolve technical issues such as asynchronous routing and storage bottlenecks. But even more so about building; Team building, data center building, WAN building, SAN building…
My philosophy is that there is a right way to do things which is:
► Provide the technology the business needs to succeed and make it available 24/7
► Deliver innovation that helps users succeed in their jobs
► Overestimate your staff’s abilities, then delegate and mentor accordingly
► Be a technical resource to your team by understanding the solutions you put in place
► Secure enough isn’t good enough
