As a pragmatic leader of global cybersecurity, online fraud prevention, data engineering, and analytics, I develop and lead high-performing teams in environments from start-up to Fortune 100 companies - with a record of success through periods of high growth, IPO, and acquisitions.

I build security programs that align with strategic business goals, contribute to top-line and bottom-line, and make security a brand strength. My teams deliver strong defense in depth, support go-to-market, allow businesses to remain agile, and make cybersecurity a competitive differentiator.

As a data leader, I build end-to-end data strategies that deliver value throughout the business and to customers by building strong, effective data programs, aligning data efforts with business goals, operating effective data infrastructure and analytics capabilities, & delivering customer-facing data solutions.

Building and leading teams in these emerging fields drives me. Success requires strategy, multi-level communication, cross-functional partnerships, strong technical performance, metrics, roadmaps, integrating security and data into product offerings, an ecosystem of industry relationships, and strong team execution.
