About Andrew Schwartz

I build security architectures that enable, not obstruct.At Wiley, I lead the evolution of our enterprise security posture—designing frameworks that make it easier for teams to move fast and stay compliant. My work focuses on connecting the layers that most organizations treat separately: infrastructure, identity, and governance. The goal is simple—create systems that scale securely without slowing innovation.Across nearly a decade at Atypon and Wiley, I’ve guided initiatives in cloud migration, zero-trust adoption, and compliance automation across SOC 2, PCI, and NIST 800-171 frameworks. I specialize in turning sprawling technical requirements into actionable blueprints that engineers, auditors, and executives can all understand.Outside of security, I’ve led organizational growth from another angle—as Executive Director of the Metropolitan Music Community, where I helped quintuple revenue and secure first-time public-sector funding. That experience reinforced the same principle I bring to architecture: resilient systems and strong teams share the same design goals—clarity, transparency, and trust.
