Experience
Vice President Security
Aug 2022 — Present · Seattle, WA, US
I lead a top-tier organization of 90+ FTEs and 50+ vendors, ensuring all of Salesforce\'s CRM, Data and AI products meet the highest standards of security certifications such as SOC, PCI, ISO, FedRamp, IL5, HITRUST, ISMAP, IRAP, and more. By strategically navigating global regulatory landscapes for both commercial and public sector, I’ve facilitated Salesforce’s entry into lucrative markets, yielding $27B in AOV and $3B in ACV through our portfolio of certifications. Central to my leadership is the delivery of one of the world\'s largest security compliance portfolios (200+ compliance reports annually) at scale. By embracing a forward-thinking approach, we scale by shifting compliance left, investing in cutting-edge automated evidence collection technologies, dramatically optimize compliance burden and substantially alleviating developer toil and total compliance costs.
