What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role that fosters innovation and collaboration in cybersecurity.

I am a dynamic and results-oriented Cybersecurity Executive with over 15 years of experience in Information Security leadership, specializing in cyber defense strategy and building scalable security programs for both federal and private sectors. My proven expertise lies in aligning security initiatives with business objectives to safeguard critical assets, enhance operational resilience, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

Throughout my career, I have adeptly collaborated with C-level stakeholders and cross-functional teams to develop and execute comprehensive cybersecurity roadmaps. I have successfully led SOC operations, automated incident response capabilities, and integrated advanced SIEM solutions to mitigate vulnerabilities. My strategic vision has driven the implementation of robotic process automation (RPA) to streamline processes and reduce operational risks, ultimately enhancing the security posture of the organizations I have served.

My accomplishments include leading cybersecurity defense programs securing multi-million-dollar federal projects and providing executive-level briefings to senior leadership on risk and threat mitigation strategies. I am committed to fostering a culture of security best practices and continuous improvement within organizations, ensuring that cybersecurity initiatives are not only effective but also aligned with overall business goals.
