How I Can Help
I partner with executive teams and investors to turn cybersecurity and privacy into clear business advantage. Drawing on two decades of board‑level leadership—spanning Fortune 500 enterprises, high‑growth scale‑ups, and private‑equity portfolios, I deliver pragmatic, outcome‑driven guidance that protects value and accelerates growth.
