I’m known as a trusted advisor who balances security, usability, and cost.I’ve served as a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) with deep experience leading enterprise‑scale cybersecurity and risk management across highly regulated industries, including health insurance, medical device manufacturing, and e‑commerce. I specialize in aligning security strategy with business objectives and organizational mission, helping leaders manage risk while still enabling innovation and growth.

My background includes- Enterprise cybersecurity strategy and roadmap development - Regulatory, audit, and compliance leadership ( NIST, ISO 27001, PCI and Department of Commerce)- Privacy, data protection, and third‑party/vendor risk management - Translating technical risk into actionable insights for non‑technical leaders - Driving measurable improvements in security posture, audit outcomes, and operational resilience I’m passionate about developing people, strengthening security culture, and ensuring that cybersecurity is viewed not as a barrier, but as a strategic enabler.I welcome conversations around new opportunities and collaboration.
