My life's ambition is to add value to those around me. With this in
mind, I am committed to enhancing both the world and the lives of
individuals I encounter.
I am a professional driven by results and guided by a philosophy
centered on solving issues rather than attributing fault. With a
robust three-decade track record in Information Security and
Risk Management, I excel in leading IT risk, cyber security, and
information security initiatives. My expertise extends to overseeing
global projects that enhance system stability, functionality, and
interoperability, always in compliance with current standards and
regulations. Known for my leadership and ability to implement
efficient business processes, I consistently aim to exceed
organizational goals and positively affect financial outcomes.
My background as a , Chief Security Officer, Chief Technology
Officer, Chief Strategy Officer, and Chief Information Security Officer
spans multiple industries, providing me with insights that benefit
both private/public sectors and adds exceptional value with my
thorough understanding of best practices and skill in mitigating
security threats. My experiences as a speaker to elite groups and my
consulting work for security startups and investment firms highlight
my technological fervor and commitment to excellence.
Open to sharing my knowledge on Risk Management, Information
Security, Cybersecurity, and Physical Security, I invite open
dialogue, collaboration, and exploration of new ideas. I am keen to
offer advice or discuss technology and career paths, positioning,
myself as an invaluable resource for any entity navigating the
intricacies of risk management and information security.
