Executive Profile | IAM, Cybersecurity, PMO & Enterprise Transformation
I’m an enterprise technology and cybersecurity leader specializing in IAM, enterprise PMO, portfolio management, and large-scale transformation. I combine technology strategy, security, governance, financial stewardship, and people leadership to solve complex challenges and deliver measurable results.

Leadership & Impact
• Organization Leadership: Scaled an organization from 1 FTE to 13 employees and 14 contractors across operations, governance, portfolio management, and service delivery.
• IAM Strategy: Transformed IAM into a scalable, policy-driven capability aligned with Zero Trust, cloud adoption, NIST, HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001.
• PMO & Governance: Established enterprise PMO frameworks, portfolio intake and prioritization, executive reporting, roadmaps, KPIs, and governance metrics.
• Financial Stewardship: Owned a $5M IAM modernization program and managed the Security cost center, aligning investments with business priorities and cost optimization.
• Enterprise Transformation: Supported Blue Shield of California’s transition to a three-company operating model, including a separation affecting 30,000+ workforce identities.
• Identity Modernization: Led SailPoint transformation and standardized governance across 145+ enterprise applications, automating identity lifecycle workflows across 70+ apps.
• Measurable Results: Reduced provisioning time by 85%, access violations by 60%, and IAM incident resolution time by 40%; increased automation from 64% to 87%.
• Security & Compliance: Sustained 99.99% IAM availability and supported successful SOC 2 and HIPAA audits through continuous monitoring and automated controls.
• Executive Partnership: Aligned priorities and delivery across HR, Finance, Legal, Infrastructure, Security, and Enterprise Applications.

How I Lead
I connect security, technology, people, processes, and budgets to turn strategy into measurable outcomes. I’m passionate about mentoring talent and helping teams succeed. People do their best work when they feel supported, understand why their work matters, and see how their contributions connect to the organization’s mission. I build engaged, high-performing teams that grow, take ownership, and are proud of their impact.

Career Focus
Director/Senior Director roles in IAM, cybersecurity, identity governance, enterprise PMO, portfolio management, and technology transformation—shaping strategy, developing future leaders, and delivering business impact.
