As an Enterprise Account Executive at Sectigo, I help large enterprises modernize their digital identity programs, automate public key infrastructure (PKI), eliminate certificate outages, and strengthen 0-Trust initiatives across complex environments. My leadership foundation began as 3-year high school football captain. And later earning academic scholarships and graduating Summa Cum Laude (B.S. and M.S.) from Big East University, St. John’s, while volunteering in soup kitchens and coaching kids in sports. And honored to have been accepted with scholarship into Cornell’s Executive MBA program. I carried those values into the cybersecurity trenches at Check Point Software Technologies under then CFO and North America\'s Head of Business Development, where I worked closely with Israeli Defense Force-trained experts, and led a team of 10 accelerating next-gen firewall and cloud adoption. After more than a decade in cyber, I continued my mission at LUMU - backed by Masayoshi Son\'s SoftBank Group and KnowBe4 - driving customer acquisition protecting state, local government, healthcare, K-12 institutions and more. Today at Sectigo, I bring this same ethos to the digital identity space: originating net new opportunities, guiding enterprises through complex PKI modernization, and delivering measurable risk, resilience and operational outcomes at scale.
