Bio
As a top cybersecurity executive, I have extensive expertise in delivering cutting edge security solutions crucial to government and industry. I have upheld a world-leading standard of excellence while supporting security, infrastructure, engineering and operations. I am a featured speaker and trainer for federal and state government agencies and FORTUNE 100 companies.
If you think security is nothing more than another cost center, we need to talk. Properly applied, security measures become a true enabler of all information technology. I know how to find synergies, revenues, and savings that are often overlooked by others. Let me show you how.
