Earlier at Microsoft, I helped transform Windows Defender into a real-time cloud-first security platform used by millions.I bring deep technical fluency, a track record of delivering 0→1 products, and a leadership style that thrives on cross-functional collaboration, customer insight, and measurable outcomes.
