Strategy-to-execution leadership for teams that need faster delivery, resilient platforms, and trusted operations.
Executive leader with equal depth across CIO and CISO mandates, open to CIO, CISO, or combined responsibilities based on business needs.
I help leadership teams translate priorities into shipped outcomes, stable platforms, and durable trust with customers and regulators. I build right-sized execution systems that improve reliability, delivery speed, and risk posture at the same time: roadmaps, architecture decisions, service management, and measurable outcomes. Comfortable across engineering, IT operations, legal/compliance, boards, auditors, and customers; deep focus on infrastructure/platform modernization, SDLC/DevOps practices, ISMS, ISO 27001/SOC 2, IAM, incident response, and operational resilience.
