About
I help organizations fix and accelerate complex security transformations.
Most of my work centers around SASE, ZTNA, and Zero Trust—especially in environments where multiple tools exist but there’s no cohesive architecture or clear path forward.
My background includes leading enterprise security architecture programs within large consulting environments, supporting Fortune 1000 clients across highly regulated industries including utilities and critical infrastructure.
I regularly work with CIOs and CISOs to turn strategy into something executable—whether stabilizing initiatives that are off track, scaling security programs, or aligning environments following acquisitions.
Clients typically bring me in when security efforts are fragmented, under pressure to move quickly, or need to operate within complex regulatory and operational constraints.
My focus is simple: bring clarity, reduce friction, and get security programs moving in the right direction.
