About Me

I'm a cybersecurity leader with 13+ years of experience spanning IT audit, governance, risk, compliance, and security advisory. Today, I lead cybersecurity consulting engagements and serve as a Virtual CISO, helping organizations develop scalable security programs and navigate frameworks.

I joined the GRC Engineering Club to intentionally step outside my comfort zone, strengthen my hands-on technical skills, and learn how engineering practices can make GRC more automated, scalable, and integrated with the systems we govern. I'm particularly interested in policy-as-code, infrastructure-as-code, continuous control monitoring, and finding practical ways to bring these concepts into real-world security and compliance programs.

Experience Highlights

  • 13+ years of cybersecurity, GRC, and audit experience spanning enterprise IT audit, compliance program ownership, security advisory, and GRC Engineering.
  • Lead a cybersecurity consulting practice supporting 60+ enterprise clients, while managing and developing a team of cybersecurity consultants.
  • Serve as a Virtual CISO and trusted advisor to high-growth organizations, developing security strategies, risk management programs, and audit readiness across SOC 2, ISO 27001, HITRUST, CMMC, and other frameworks.
  • Built enterprise GRC experience leading SOX ITGC and PCI DSS compliance programs and designing governance programs based on the CIS Controls.
