About
I am a cybersecurity leader & my specialty is helping organizations build robust, data-driven cybersecurity programs, implement effective risk governance strategies, and achieve regulatory compliance.
I do this by leading teams prioritizing protections and governance based on a deep understanding of threats, vulnerabilities, and regulatory requirements.
I have been successful because of my leadership skills, collaborative approach, and strong technical background.
What’s unique about my approach is that while being laser-focus on assets, threats and protections, it is also grounded in supporting technology strategy and business objectives.
