I build global security programs, cloud infrastructure, and AI security platforms.

Message

I've built and scaled enterprise cybersecurity programs at Showpad and Brainshark, including global AWS security infrastructure, compliance programs, and a unified security operations model across 12 networks.

At Showpad, I consolidated three regional SOC teams into a Global SOC, reduced the attack surface by more than 40%, and helped enable $65M+ in deals through SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications. I also led security integration for mergers and acquisitions and modernized security reviews with sales and legal, cutting turnaround time by 30%.

I own AI security and governance end to end, from launching an enterprise AI Security Program and ISO 42001-based AI Board to authoring an autonomous-agent security framework mapped to NIST AI RMF and MITRE ATLAS.

Outside of enterprise leadership, I built Ghost Cyber Security: an AI-powered security platform with autonomous agents for penetration testing, incident response, consulting, and SOC-as-a-service. My career began defending classified defense networks at General Dynamics Electric Boat, where I led insider-threat investigations and coordinated with FBI forensics teams.
