I lead enterprise and cloud security architecture, translating cyber risk into practical business decisions.
What I'm looking for
I'm leading security architecture at Fidelity International for core banking, trading, mobile, and API-based services, governing secure data flows across on-premises, cloud, SaaS, and third-party environments.
Across VMware and Hamad International Airport, I've designed Zero Trust access, application microsegmentation, cloud controls, trust boundaries, and security patterns for business-critical environments. I work with AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and Zscaler ZPA/ZIA to replace broad VPN access with identity-aware, least-privilege controls.
Over 21+ years across financial services, technology, aviation, and utilities, I've connected architecture assurance, risk management, governance, and ICS/SCADA security with practical remediation decisions for business and technology leaders.
