What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead CISO-level security strategy, customer advisory, and transformation work where I can connect cyber risk, technology, and regulatory priorities to measurable business outcomes.

I’ve led CISO-level security, data protection, and GRC programs at First Citizens Bank/Silicon Valley Bank, Cognizant, and Ally Financial. I translate cyber risk, regulatory requirements, and architecture gaps into funded transformation roadmaps and clear executive decisions.

At First Citizens Bank/Silicon Valley Bank, I directed a distributed organization of 45 professionals and an $8M–$14M operating budget, reducing enterprise cyber risk by more than 30% and incidents by 40%. I also led cybersecurity and Data Protection integration for the Silicon Valley Bank acquisition and established an Enterprise Data Protection Center of Excellence.

I bring hands-on leadership across cloud and SaaS security, Zero Trust, identity governance, threat response, privacy, GRC, and regulatory readiness. I’m equally comfortable briefing Board Risk Committees and regulators, leading customer workshops, and turning complex security issues into practical business outcomes.
