What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead technology modernization and cybersecurity programs with board-level accountability—building risk-aware AI adoption, Zero Trust security, and measurable operational improvements that hold up under audit and real-world budget pressure.

I’m a technology executive with 20+ years leading enterprise technology for a $90M, multi-site organization supporting 2,000+ employees across 75+ locations. I operate at board level, translating modernization, cyber risk, and technology investment decisions into measurable results under real constraints.

My track record is built on pragmatic tradeoffs: I directed a $4M+ annual operating and capital technology portfolio and improved operational efficiency by 38% through modernization, analytics, and automation that standardized reporting and strengthened decision support.

On cybersecurity, I architected and implemented a Zero Trust security framework that reduced organizational cyber risk exposure by 55% and improved audit, insurance, and regulatory readiness. I also lead responsible AI adoption with risk, compliance, and acceptable-use obligations built into governance.

I bring transformation that shows up in customer and business outcomes—driving an 86% increase in online customer registrations by modernizing web, mobile, email marketing, and online registration platforms. I’ve built and mentored high-performing IT teams, including strengthening accountability and succession depth while achieving a 97% staff satisfaction rating.
