What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles in AI governance or cybersecurity where I can drive compliance, automation, and measurable risk and cost reductions while mentoring teams.

I am an AI governance and cybersecurity leader with a track record of guiding large technology and financial organizations to stronger compliance, reduced risk, and measurable cost savings. I design control frameworks using ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, HITRUST AI RMF, and established security standards to operationalize safe AI and improve security posture.

I have led high-visibility compliance and optimization initiatives — including CMMC for Fortune 50 product lines, FedRAMP automation that cut costs by over $500,000, vendor management consolidation, and cyber insurance strategy that lowered premiums. I also serve as a trusted presenter at conferences and develop training and QA processes to grow consulting teams.

My background combines analytics education and hands-on experience as a manager and senior consultant, with technical skills spanning Python, Tableau, Power BI, R, automation tools, and security scanners. I hold CISSP and AIGP certifications and I seek roles where I can lead AI governance, cybersecurity strategy, and automation to deliver measurable business impact.
