What I'm looking for

I’m focused on leading supply-chain, vendor, and cybersecurity risk programs that strengthen customer assurance, governance, and compliance across complex organizations.

I lead Supply-Chain Risk Management and Customer Assurance at Cargill, following executive vendor risk leadership at Morgan Stanley and nearly six years directing cyber and information security risk at Equifax.

My work spans third-party risk, cybersecurity governance, customer assurance, and compliance across financial services, insurance, retail, and big data. I’ve also led third-party information security risk at The Home Depot, information security risk and governance at Aflac, and security risk management programs at SunTrust.

I bring an operational foundation from supervising a Network Management Center at USAN and serving in technical control, cryptology, and network administration roles in the United States Air Force.

I hold a Master of Science in Cybersecurity and Public Policy from Georgia Tech and a Bachelor of Science in Information Security and Assurance from Kennesaw State University. I’m focused on practical, strategic security risk management that helps organizations manage complex third-party and compliance obligations.
