At Confidence Innovation, LLC / Confidence Technology Advisors, I lead vendor-neutral technology advisory and channel activities across cybersecurity, networking, cloud, connectivity and AI. I also provide fractional executive leadership that connects portfolio, product and technology strategy to business outcomes.

At Trustwave, I led strategy and go-to-market planning across managed security, consulting, and data and email security. I integrated MDR, SpiderLabs DFIR and threat intelligence into a unified service proposition, contributing to Trustwave’s recognition as a Leader in Gartner and Forrester market evaluations.

I also led a Trustwave competitive-replacement campaign that generated $17.7M in pipeline and $5M in closed revenue within 10 months. For secure networking and PCI compliance services supporting more than 3,000 customers, I helped streamline delivery and reduce expenditures by $1.2M within six months.

Earlier, I led the launch of Rackspace Managed Security, exceeding first-quarter pipeline and revenue goals by more than 300%. At Dell, I led U.S. Federal cybersecurity portfolio strategy and supported integration of the Perot Systems acquisition; at BMC Software, I managed database products and contributed to the creation of the Business Service Management category. I hold a Master of Science in Business from Johns Hopkins University and credentials including CISSP and Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO I).
