What I'm looking for

I'm looking for leadership roles across cyber defense, SOC, IR, Detection and Response and Threat Intelligence operations where I can strengthen detection, automate response workflows, develop high-performing teams, and align security outcomes with business priorities.

I've led enterprise cyber defense operations at TransUnion, overseeing major incidents from investigation through containment, remediation, and root cause analysis while mentoring CDOC analysts.

I strengthened detection capability by tuning SIEM correlation rules and alert thresholds, reducing false positives by more than 30%. I also improved team efficiency and quality by 40% through SOAR case reviews and compliance scoring.

Previously, I led 24x7 DFIR operations at ICE Data Services and managed a 30-person SOC team at Black Knight Financial Services. My teams improved incident response time by 40%, expanded monitoring coverage from 75% to 95%, and maintained strong operational governance.

Across financial services and enterprise environments, I build playbooks, automate workflows, develop security professionals, and deliver executive reporting that supports informed security decisions.
