What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role where I can drive enterprise security and compliance, mentor teams, integrate controls across cloud and vendor ecosystems, and improve audit readiness within a collaborative, accountable culture.

I am a director-level information security and compliance professional with a track record of leading enterprise programs that strengthen protection, reduce risk, and ensure regulatory alignment.

I have driven security and compliance strategy across organizations, embedding controls into systems, vendors, and business processes, and improving audit readiness through oversight of internal and external assessments.

My experience includes FedRAMP, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST, cloud security integration, privacy program development, and vendor risk management, with hands-on roles creating SSPs, SARs, POA&Ms, and remediation plans.

I mentor and build high-performing teams, advise executives, foster a culture of accountability, and deliver measurable improvements in compliance posture and operational resilience.
