What I'm looking for

I seek roles leveraging threat intelligence and program leadership to protect enterprise infrastructure, drive cross-functional resilience, and brief senior stakeholders.

I am an intelligence and operations leader with 10+ years blending military tradecraft and enterprise technology to inform executive decision-making. I have led large fusion cells and corporate programs, producing finished intelligence, triaging high-risk threats, and briefing C-level and interagency leaders.

At Okta I directed a $29M global telephony and vendor intelligence program, captured $2.5M in R&D credits, and integrated fraud and vendor intelligence into engineering and product teams. My background as a former U.S. Army intelligence officer includes multi-discipline collection, reconnaissance operations, and delivering threat assessments to senior national and military leaders.
