Founder & Principal Consultant

From CISO to Your Trusted Advisor

As a former Chief Information Security Officer and VP of Software Engineering at a high-growth technology firm, I didn't just advise on security—I built it. I led the development, security, and compliance functions from the ground up during a period of exponential growth, culminating in the company's inclusion in the INC 5000.

I've spearheaded the entire development lifecycle for mission-critical systems, integrated cutting-edge AI and machine learning, and successfully navigated the complexities of achieving both SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001:2022 certifications. My experience isn't theoretical; it's forged from years of hands-on leadership at the intersection of technology, security, and business growth. Now, I bring that practitioner's perspective to help you scale securely.
