Principal cybersecurity consultant delivering GRC and cloud security that earns audit readiness and measurable risk reduction.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Principal Cybersecurity Consultant and trusted advisor with 16+ years of experience architecting, auditing, and advancing enterprise security programs across finance, healthcare, and retail. I partner with CISOs, CIOs, and executive leadership to translate complex technical risks into clear business strategy and measurable outcomes.
I specialize in building resilient, audit-ready organizations by designing and assessing GRC frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA. I map controls to these standards to improve compliance alignment, risk visibility, and operational control maturity.
In cloud environments, I help organizations secure Azure, AWS, and Oracle against evolving threats. I’ve led security advisory work including aligning initiatives to NIST 800-53 and CSA control frameworks, strengthening cloud policies and Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs), and supporting secure delivery of applications in regulated environments.
I also drive security culture and continuous improvement through training and operational execution. From chairing incident workflows and “IT Security Champions” programs to spearheading SOC 2 readiness and ISO 27001 consulting, I build practical documentation, incident response planning, and governance that stick—so teams can deliver confidently under audit.
