What I'm looking for

I seek C‑suite technology leadership (CTO/COO/VP Technology) where I can lead global digital transformation, strengthen cybersecurity, scale operations, advise boards, and drive measurable revenue and efficiency gains; open to global relocation and executive compensation.

I am a visionary technology executive with 25+ years leading digital transformation, cybersecurity, and global IT operations across Fortune 500 and high-growth organizations. I have scaled operations 400% and built $12M annual revenue streams through strategic IT outsourcing and managed services while delivering measurable cost savings and service improvements.

I have led multinational teams of 200+ professionals, architected cloud-first strategies (AWS, Azure, GCP), and delivered national-scale programs including a mobile security system protecting 180M+ subscribers. I seek to apply my enterprise architecture, cybersecurity, and operational leadership to C‑suite roles where I can drive strategic growth and board-level impact.
