What I'm looking for
I am an ambitious and innovative technical leader with extensive experience in information security. My career has been marked by a commitment to safeguarding customer-facing products and corporate environments, as demonstrated in my current role as Senior Director of Security at Chegg. Here, I lead a comprehensive Information Security program, overseeing global teams responsible for various security domains, including application security and incident response. My efforts have significantly reduced false positives in our incident response program and improved our security posture through the integration of advanced technologies.
Prior to my current position, I served as Senior Director of Security Engineering at DocuSign, where I managed security automation and vulnerability management across multi-cloud environments. I successfully built and led diverse teams, driving automation initiatives that increased security visibility and reduced manual processes. My experience also includes a tenure as Chief Architect at Stackline Inc, where I leveraged machine learning to enhance operational efficiency and deliver high-quality products rapidly. My journey has been characterized by a passion for mentorship and a drive to inspire teams to reach their full potential.
