What I'm looking for

Seeking a leadership role in cybersecurity to drive GRC initiatives and align security strategies with business objectives, leveraging expertise in cloud security and compliance frameworks.

As a seasoned Cybersecurity Executive with over 14 years of experience, I specialize in leading governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) programs, security operations (SOC), and IT audit initiatives across various industries. My expertise includes compliance with SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, HITRUST, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001, ensuring robust security postures in healthcare, finance, and cloud environments.

I have a proven track record in building and scaling security programs, risk management frameworks, and application security initiatives aligned with industry standards. My strategic approach includes fostering a security-first culture, enhancing resilience through incident response, and managing vulnerabilities. I also advise executive leadership on security matters, supporting M&A and IPO readiness.

My technical proficiency spans cloud security (AWS, Azure), DevSecOps, and Zero Trust strategies. I am adept at security awareness training, threat detection, and forensic investigations, leveraging tools like Splunk, Nessus, and Qualys. My collaborative approach ensures alignment of security initiatives with business objectives, driving organizational growth and security maturity.
