What I'm looking for

I seek a cybersecurity leadership role where I can manage cross-functional teams, run Agile programs, reduce enterprise risk, and drive measurable security improvements in a collaborative, mission-focused environment.

I am a senior cybersecurity project manager with deep experience leading cross-functional teams to deliver risk-focused projects across multiple cyber domains.

I execute Agile initiatives that include application security (DEVSEC/OFFSEC), cloud security, third-party cyber risk, insider risk, security engineering and threat intelligence, consistently delivering projects on scope, budget and schedule.

I built and manage Atlassian-based reporting and workflows (Jira, Confluence, Advanced Roadmaps) supporting real-time tracking for 80 projects and have led implementations such as PCI-DSS upgrades, penetration testing engagements, and cybersecurity LMS deployments.

I combine technical subject-matter expertise and program leadership to drive governance, stakeholder engagement, and process improvements that measurably reduce risk and improve operational security posture.
