I lead global governance, compliance, and security risk programs for complex enterprises.

United States
Message

At Kyndryl, I lead an enterprise security team across three global regions, directing security policy, compliance strategy, risk governance, crisis response, and executive reporting for a Fortune 500 technology company.

I've built scalable compliance, audit, and risk programs at SiriusXM/Pandora, IBM, Kenexa Technology, and the U.S. Department of Labor. My work has included a SaaS compliance framework, global product compliance roadmaps, vendor compliance training, federal audit controls, and management of a $25M+ grant portfolio.

I translate complex security, regulatory, and operational risks into practical policies, dashboards, remediation plans, and recommendations that help leadership understand risk posture and program performance.
