What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead an enterprise security and governance program where I can strengthen resilience, manage cyber risk and compliance, and drive measurable improvements through practical, board-ready strategy and cross-functional execution.

I’m an analytical, results-driven cybersecurity and IT governance leader with 30 years of experience directing cybersecurity initiatives and enterprise risk management across diverse industries. I develop and implement security strategies, manage cybersecurity programs, and enhance IT infrastructure resilience while devising risk assessment plans, eliminating vulnerabilities, and maintaining compliance with international security standards for value-over-time outcomes.

Currently, I provide strategic leadership as an Information & Technology Officer at Britannia Bank & Trust, strengthening enterprise-wide IT governance, risk, and privacy management through policy development, oversight frameworks, and resilient operational governance. Previously, I founded and scaled 21st Century Cybersecurity as CEO/Founder, delivering cybersecurity, data protection, and compliance advisory aligned to NIST 800-53, ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR—plus advisory on cyber risk, IT governance framework development, gap analyses, and audit readiness for banking and regulatory environments.
