Over the past 35 years, I've been fortunate to work with some of the world’s most innovative organizations at the intersection of cybersecurity, technology, and business transformation. From building enterprise security programs to guiding startups on go-to-market strategy, my journey has always been about enabling trust, resilience, and growth. Here is my biography.

As the U.S. federal government scales back its cybersecurity initiatives, middle market companies find themselves increasingly exposed to cyber threats, financial instability, and compliance challenges. A weakened national cybersecurity posture not only heightens their vulnerability to attacks but also drives up cyber insurance costs and exacerbates supply chain risks. With 28% of executives reporting a data breach last year and cyber incident costs averaging $2.98 million for small businesses, companies must take decisive action. Strengthening internal security measures, leveraging cyber insurance, fostering industry collaboration, and staying ahead of regulatory changes are critical steps to fortifying their defenses. In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, proactive cybersecurity strategies are essential for ensuring resilience and long-term success.
