Fast-growing companies need enterprise-grade security programs without bureaucracy. Most recently at Cricket Health (acquired by Interwell Health, then merged with Fresenius Medical Care), I led a small but mighty team that achieved three consecutive HITRUST r2 certifications with zero critical audit findings, won customers with strong security posture, and built secure architecture enabling rapid growth and M&A integration.
