Robinson Owen
@robinsonowen
CISM-certified cybersecurity advisor with 28+ years leading IT infrastructure and GRC governance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a CISM-certified cybersecurity professional with 28+ years of IT infrastructure and leadership experience, and I transition seamlessly into fractional advisory roles. I bring deep expertise in compliance, GRC frameworks, and security governance—built to support executive reporting, risk assessment, and clear mitigation strategies.
I’ve also proven I can scale operations and embed compliance into real-world environments: I founded and scaled a home healthcare operation to 120+ employees and $1.2M+ annual revenue before a successful exit. Earlier in my career, I designed wired network architectures and configured Cisco/Microsoft routing systems for enterprise deployments, and I’ve translated that hands-on expertise into training as an adjunct professor.
