What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue leading maritime security, risk management, investigations, and emergency response while contributing to safer shipboard operations and following emerging AI and agentic workflow technologies.

At Royal Caribbean Group, I oversee shipboard security operations for Royal Caribbean and previously Celebrity Cruises, safeguarding passengers, crew, and vessel assets through investigations, maritime compliance, CCTV and access-control management, and emergency response.

I've progressed from Deputy Chief Security Officer and Public Safety Officer to Chief Security Officer, partnering with law enforcement and regulatory agencies, leading crew training, and improving onboard injury prevention. My leadership foundation comes from serving as a tank commander, where I led emergency drills, developed tactical plans, coordinated logistics, and trained foreign personnel; I also actively follow AI development and agentic workflows.
