VP Information Security at Syndigo who built its security program from the ground up across eight acquisitions.

At Syndigo, I joined as its first dedicated security hire and built a global security program spanning Information Security, Privacy, GRC, Customer Trust, DevSecOps, and AI Security. I developed a 15-person organization and lead security and privacy integration across eight major acquisitions.

I own SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 programs, security risk acceptance, and investment planning. Earlier, at GRIDWORKS IC, I was the first IT/security hire and built technology and HIPAA security foundations as the business scaled.
