I am a mission-driven and people-centric senior leader in cybersecurity, risk management, and compliance with 20+ years of industry experience with small to large scale, global organizations including top Fortune companies. My expertise includes building, implementing, maturing and innovating cybersecurity and risk assurance programs and teams with a track record of helping organizations effectively manage risk, meet compliance obligations and drive high-value outcomes for the business. I have a diverse career background (by design!) ranging from security practitioner to executive roles at healthcare, retail, telecom/wireless, and technology companies. I also serve as a Board member, advisor, and mentor for various professional organizations in the security and tech community including being an advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion. Collectively, these experiences have shaped my journey in the cyber risk management profession, and I strive to continue making positive impacts to protect organizations and people.
