What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead cybersecurity strategy, risk governance, compliance, and incident response programs where I can partner with executives and boards to strengthen security posture and build resilient, high-performing teams.

I currently serve as Virtual Chief Information Security Officer at OculusIT, guiding Higher Education, Retail, and Hospitality clients on cybersecurity strategy, risk management, compliance, and incident response.

Previously, I led global information security and risk programs at ADEC Innovations, ClubCorp USA, CEC Entertainment, and Brinks Inc. I built security teams and governance programs, delivered board-level risk reporting, and aligned enterprise security initiatives with GDPR, PCI-DSS, NIST CSF, and ISO 27001.

I've strengthened security operations through incident response programs, MDR deployments, IAM and privileged access management, vulnerability management, and security awareness training. My work has reduced operating costs through vendor consolidation and improved detection, containment, recovery, and compliance outcomes.

Across more than 20 years in cybersecurity, I bring executive leadership, practical risk governance, and hands-on experience helping organizations protect critical assets and prepare for evolving threats.
