What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead product strategy, technical go-to-market, and enterprise customer outcomes for secure AI, identity, cybersecurity, and compliance solutions.

I've built secure AI, identity security, and threat intelligence products from early customer discovery through enterprise deployment. As founder and CEO of VeriClouds, I led solution architecture, executive demos, proof-of-concepts, and ROI models for buyers including Google, NTT Docomo, Cox Communications, and F5, scaling the company through its acquisition by Enzoic.

At CyberInsights AI, I own product vision, roadmap prioritization, customer acquisition, and solutions engineering for secure AI solutions in cybersecurity and compliance. At Blue Label Labs, I established a cybersecurity AI consulting practice and developed agentic AI proof-of-concepts for security automation, detection, response, and identity workflows.

My product leadership includes three Chief Product Officer roles, spanning cloud vulnerability detection, credential-risk intelligence, cryptographic solutions, and AI security. At Microsoft, I delivered Outlook.com advertising implementations that generated $150M in annual revenue and helped shape Windows and Internet Explorer security features.

I'm also a founding member of the OpenID Foundation's AI & Identity Management group, contributing to emerging standards for secure agentic AI. I continue building practical AI agents for security context analysis, customer reception, and Salesforce-integrated sales workflows.
