I protect businesses so they can move faster.

Every superhero has an origin story—mine begins behind a glowing monitor, fueled by curiosity and a knack for making technology work smarter, safer, and faster. I didn’t stumble into cybersecurity; I built a path through IT operations trenches, migrations measured in thousands of systems, and boardrooms where security becomes strategy.

At eBay/PayPal, I helped separate two tech giants with zero downtime across 130,000+ systems, guiding global teams and keeping business moving without a blip. At PlayStation, I supported the global commerce platform, where uptime wasn’t a metric—it was a promise.

Then I built from scratch—launching the security program at Blink Health: the SOC, incident response, monitoring, and compliance across HIPAA, HITRUST, and PCI. Next came Aristocrat Technologies, where I led global Security Engineering, Operations, and Attack Surface teams, moved to Splunk Cloud, stood up a new MDR, and carved out meaningful savings by simplifying the stack.

At Dutchie, as Head of Information Security & IT (Acting CISO), I set a multi-year strategy that protected 7,400+ locations, grew people and capabilities, and made security part of the culture through clear communication and pragmatic leadership.

Most recently at United Wheels, I was recruited to elevate global IT and Security across international operations—driving roadmaps, maturing controls, and aligning technology with compliance and growth.

Today, I’m obsessed with where cybersecurity meets AI and LLMs—using intelligent automation and modern tooling to detect faster, respond smarter, and reduce toil so teams can focus on what matters.
