My work focuses on aligning operational capabilities, strengthening investigative partnerships, and delivering actionable solutions in highly dynamic and often sensitive environments.Prior to joining the MPA, I spent almost three decades with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, including serving as Executive Assistant Director for National Security. In that role, I led all national security programs, managed a $300 million budget, and oversaw large-scale investigations and intelligence operations involving terrorism, espionage, and nuclear, chemical, and biological threats. I also advanced initiatives that strengthened organizational resilience, accountability, and workforce well-being.Across both the public and private sectors, I bring a proven ability to lead through complexity, manage enterprise risk at scale, and build high-performing teams. My work is guided by integrity, collaboration, and disciplined strategic execution in service of resilient institutions and protected creative and live-content industries.
