In my extensive career, I’ve served 6 industries across IT, Risk and Compliance. As CIO and CISO of Nashville Electric, I oversaw all IT departments and budget for the 11th largest Public Service in the US. As the CTO for the State of Kansas, I was responsible for IT strategy across 18 state agencies during the start of the pandemic when all the systems crashed. I helped restore them in 4 days, moved a data center in 6 months, and negotiated a dozen “X as a Service” contracts in 18 months. As CISO and VP, Enterprise Risk and Global Compliance, I’ve led ethics, global compliance, cybersecurity, and M&A technical strategy. I designed and led a 14B Aerospace company through their first Global Enterprise Risk in 6 months. Lastly, I worked with Mazars UK and the EU Union on Intellectual Privacy and Business Ethics for a 750M target during a Data Breach of said target. This combined with International Staffing for Cyber and Tech teams can help your company navigate the Global Digital Divide and a host of international cybersecurity and privacy laws. I’ve worked on dozens of M&A’s and built international teams to address all aspects of information security including achieving global PCI/SOX/HIPAA/Safe Harbor compliance, matured security practices, and kept ahead of the myriad of US and international data and privacy laws. My experience includes serving on the US Overseas Security Advisory Council and working with the Department of Defense as a member of the Information Assurance Work Group in support of the Tricare Management Agency and DITSCAP/DIACAP initiatives. I’m the Unicorn your company needs to thrive in the dawn of AI!
