Chief Technology Officer (cybersecurity, intelligence, enterprise solutions, federal government)

As a senior IT and cybersecurity executive, I have built a career specializing in tier 1 consulting opportunities, particularly in compliance auditing, regulatory risk management, and cybersecurity operations and governance. Recognizing the need to enhance my strategic and management impact, I proactively obtained my MBA from Georgetown University to complement my deep technical expertise with business acumen, allowing me to develop scalable, “as-a-service” models that position compliance as a continuous strategic function rather than a one-time obligation.

With deep expertise spanning AI, process automation, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), data analytics, and data lake architectures, I help organizations navigate complex regulatory environments while leveraging emerging technologies to enhance cybersecurity resilience and digital transformation initiatives. My decades-long client relationships are a testament to the quantitative and qualitative value I provide—helping businesses meet compliance requirements, fortify their security posture, and drive operational efficiency and competitive advantage.

As a thought leader and deep subject-matter expert, I have advised boards, C-suite executives, and private equity firms, translating cybersecurity risk into business-driven strategies that fuel sustainable growth. In addition to my executive leadership, I have taught at two universities, a role that has sharpened my ability to translate complex concepts into actionable insights—a skill equally valuable in consulting, where education, trust, and strategic guidance are critical to long-term success. By fostering strategic partnerships, optimizing sales processes, and championing cutting-edge security strategies, I enable organizations to scale securely, maintain regulatory integrity, and drive business value in an evolving cyber threat landscape.

I hold an MBA from Georgetown University, an MS in Information Technology, and a spectrum of esteemed certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CRISC, Associate C|CISO and PMP. I am also a speaker, board member, and venture advisor, passionately fostering innovation and collaborative initiatives within the IT and security landscape.
