Advisor & Operator

About

20+ years across enterprise risk, cybersecurity, and AI program design to help leadership teams translate strategy into deployable roadmaps. I bring deep technical expertise in AI, grounded in firsthand experience navigating the friction between what’s possible in theory and what gets implemented in real enterprise environments. It’s not just about capability—it’s about execution under pressure, within constraints.

My path has been defined by early pattern recognition—leading transformations at Fortune 100s, building secure AI platforms in regulated financial sectors, and scaling cybersecurity programs across cloud-native ecosystems. Every organization has its own inertia. Success comes from understanding that landscape, identifying leverage points, and enabling the internal drivers of change to break through.
