I am a technology executive with over two decades of experience building platforms, leading the teams and infrastructure behind them, and advising boards on the decisions that matter. I've taken products from initial idea through acquisition — founding and selling my own company — and architected globally delivered certification and education platforms now embedded in enterprise and government workforce programs. I hold a US patent in computerized learning systems.
​
Today I advise executives and boards at the intersection of technology strategy, risk, and business outcomes. I'm at my best translating complex technical issues into terms leadership can act on — a skill built over a career that spans national security service, entrepreneurship, and enterprise technology leadership. My work draws on deep fluency in cybersecurity and multiple compliance frameworks, but the throughline is broader: building scalable technology programs and leading the people who run them.
