At TexasBank, I lead enterprise technology, cybersecurity, digital banking, infrastructure, and resilience for a $2B+ financial institution. I directed technology initiatives supporting growth from approximately $750 million to more than $2 billion in assets while maintaining operational resilience and customer service continuity.

I advise executive leadership and the Board on technology strategy, cybersecurity, operational risk, and modernization. I also lead a technology and cybersecurity organization of 15+ internal professionals and strategic MSP/MSSP partners.
