About
Cybersecurity executive who builds security programs that don't just pass audits, they set the bar. Across 24 years I've led security from the boardroom to the command line: stood up a 24/7 global Security Operations Center from scratch, delivered SOC 2 certification with zero findings, and turned compliance into a competitive advantage. I take complex, high-stakes environments and bring them under control.
Navy veteran, Harvard-trained in AI, CISSP and CISM certified, and relentlessly focused on results.
Experience
Director of Security, Macmillan — Lead global security for 3,000+ users across five countries. Built a 24/7 follow-the-sun SOC from nothing, achieved SOC 2 with zero findings, and own the strategy, vendor ecosystem, and budget behind it. Delivered $2M+ in annual savings.
Chief Information Security Officer, Yottaa — Built an entire security program from a blank page in a high-growth SaaS company and earned ISO 27001, turning security into a sales accelerator.
Sr. Manager, Information Security, Wells Fargo — Led incident response and enterprise risk reduction at one of the largest banks in the country.
Army Cyber Center of Excellence (ISC) — Led FISMA accreditations to full Authorization to Operate across federal systems.
Healthcare advisory — Advise a birth center and a home health business on technology and HIPAA-aligned security.
Education
Harvard University — Artificial Intelligence with Python; Data Science: Machine Learning. Two master's degrees in Cybersecurity and Information Security Management. One of the deepest certification stacks in the field: CISSP, CISM, PMP, CASP+, CySA+, PenTest+, and three GIAC certifications. I never stop leveling up.
