Message

At Cardinal Health, I built the end-to-end security program for Navista, the company’s first Managed Service Company for Oncology Practices, establishing governance, compliance frameworks, and a secure-by-design operating model at launch.

I also transformed the enterprise Third-Party Risk Management program into a full-lifecycle model and launched a cyber M&A capability with acquisition playbooks, due diligence frameworks, and post-acquisition integration models.

At AMC Theatres, I directed information security through global expansion, including the Odeon Cinemas Group and Nordic Cinema Group acquisitions. I developed the security strategy and roadmap, and directed compliance programs spanning PCI DSS, SOX, GDPR, and CCPA.

Earlier, with the U.S. Army’s 1st Infantry Division, I directed IT and Network Operations and multinational cyber defense for 30,000+ personnel. I’m a NIST AI Security Framework contributor, founder of Women in Security Kansas City, and a two-time CISO of the Year.
