What I'm looking for

I want to lead service and security operations—building SOC/managed security programs, automating delivery, and turning cloud security risk into measurable business outcomes in a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.

I’m a cybersecurity and IT operations leader with 11+ years of experience building and scaling security programs, managed services, and high-performing teams. I translate technical risk into business outcomes—driving operational excellence, client trust, and revenue growth.

I currently lead overall Service Operations as Director of Operations at Modern IT, covering Managed Security, Professional Services, the Reactive Operations Center (ROC), and Client Success. I own service delivery frameworks to improve scalability, profitability, SLA performance, and continuous improvement through automation and performance metrics.

Previously, as Director of Managed Security, I led SOC operations, security engineering, and incident response teams while advising clients on measurable security improvements. I onboarded all clients to a new SOC solution, improved Microsoft Secure Scores by up to 30% in 60 days, and designed a full Incident Response plan with 100% SLA-aligned incident coverage.

I’ve also led cloud security work across AWS and Azure, orchestrating SIEM/SOAR, EDR, and Privileged Access Management (PAM) deployments and strengthening IAM and policy governance. Certified with CISSP, CCSP, CRISC, and PMP, I combine strategic vision with hands-on execution to build enterprise-grade managed security and SOC programs “from the ground up.”
