Currently responsible for overseeing multiple investigative divisions that handle employee misconduct, whistleblower-related matters, and sensitive personnel cases affecting a geographically dispersed workforce.My work focuses on ensuring investigations are fair, timely, defensible, and consistent, while providing senior leaders with clear visibility into emerging risks and organizational trends. I regularly brief executive leadership, collaborate closely with legal counsel, labor and employee relations, HR, and security partners, and translate investigative activity into actionable insights that support accountability, workforce trust, and mission execution.I began my career as a U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID) Special Agent and continue to bring an investigator’s mindset to executive leadership—grounded in evidence, process discipline, and professional judgment. My experience includes supervising investigators, managing high-profile and high-risk cases, developing investigative policy and guidance, and strengthening enterprise intake and oversight processes.I am most effective in environments where integrity, transparency, and consistency matter—helping organizations manage risk, uphold standards of conduct, and make informed decisions in difficult, high-stakes situations.Areas of Focus:Internal Investigations | Employee Misconduct | Investigative Intake & Oversight | Whistleblower Matters | Policy & Governance | Trend Analysis | Executive Briefings | Nationwide Workforce Support
