Experience

   Truist

   Sep 2024 — Present · NC, US

   I lead the design, implementation, and oversight of multiple enterprise security programs, including Infrastructure and Cloud Asset Discovery, Vulnerability Assessment Services, Responsible Disclosure, Bug Bounty, and External Attack Surface Monitoring. My focus is on driving program maturity through strategic planning, cross-functional collaboration, and metrics-based execution. Spearhead vulnerability management operations across engineering and analysis teams, ensuring continuous threat reduction and risk visibility. Partner with other senior leadership across technical and business domains to define and execute VM strategy, reporting frameworks, and key performance metrics. Serve as a liaison between security, governance, and risk stakeholders to develop forward-looking controls, policies, and operational routines that align with regulatory and organizational goals. Established and matured program controls, evidence collection processes, and metrics reporting—including burn-down tracking and continuous improvement efforts. Launched successful initiatives to reduce operational silos, introduce regular governance routines, improve process accuracy and timeliness (CAT), and empower teams through cross-training and role clarity. Drive compliance with internal vulnerability standards and policies through stakeholder engagement and robust documentation (e.g, SPPs, RACI matrices, and evidence logs). Established and scaled a Remediation Operations Tracking team as part of daily operations that is focused on driving remediation efforts and reducing organizational risk.
