ABOUT CAROL R.
Sr. Cybersecurity SME & High-Impact Strategic Lead specializing in the protection of global critical infrastructure and high-stakes M&A environments. Expert at navigating the intersection of technical security architecture, regulatory governance (HITRUST, NIST), and commercial risk. Proven track record in orchestrating multi-million dollar remediation efforts for global institutions. Unique \"Purple Team\" expertise in forensic fraud induction analysis and contractual breach mitigation, providing C-suite leaders with a comprehensive shield against technical and legal liability.Outside of work, I’m building Revve — a startup focused on simplifying mortgage readiness for the modern homebuyer. After years of navigating the real estate buying process, I saw firsthand how oblique and outdated the mortgage process can be — especially for self-employed and first-time buyers. I bring experience across cybersecurity, compliance, fintech, and real estate, with hands-on work in technical leadership, regulatory risk, property investment, and financial planning. This cross-functional background gives me a unique lens on how technology can solve real problems in highly regulated industries.
