Continuously innovating, with 15+ years of experience in information, data & cybersecurity across physical, virtual & cloud infrastructures. Most recently as a Technical Product Owner, I transformed a legacy proof-of-concept into a fully operational SaaS platform—delivering continuous monitoring of 100k+ endpoints for 6k+ concurrent users. My focus: modernizing systems, streamlining design & expanding capabilities to cut organizational risk.

I turn complexity into clarity. My mentorship balances vision, care & execution—helping teams thrive while delivering lasting impact.

As a Strategic Security Practitioner, aligning security with business objectives by analyzing risks, ensuring compliance & collaborating with stakeholders is how goals are accomplished. My role routinely demands analytical depth, risk fluency, leadership and guidance skills, plus the ability to convert complexity into secure outcomes while enabling innovation, resilience & growth.

A collaborative strategist & problem-solver, I specialize in Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (RBVM) program design, metrics & cross-functional delivery. I bridge technical depth with practical solutions—improving visibility, uniting stakeholders & driving measurable progress across enterprise programs.

Grounded in 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲, 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲 & 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞—and operating as a 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐫, 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 & 𝐓𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐧—I thrive in remote, integrity-led environments. Teams I lead consistently reduce scope creep & churn while hitting peak performance.

I am asking for support today on behalf of someone who is profoundly worthy of it.

🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

Jamie Lee (Stark) Miller https://lnkd.in/g5SdxTMa is a fierce advocate for children and the arts in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She is a devoted wife, mother, sister, and daughter. Her family is her life. She is also a faithful, present, and deeply supportive friend to those fortunate enough to know her.

Jamie has an innate ability to bond with people quickly because she radiates calm, safety, and genuine welcome. I witnessed this personally. My autistic son connected with her within minutes, which speaks volumes about her warmth, patience, and emotional intelligence.

She is an incredible force for good during dark times, the kind of person who shows up for others, lifts those around her, and creates light where it is needed most. That is why I am asking for support as she faces ovarian cancer and the demanding reality of ongoing treatment. She is every bit worth the care, generosity, and advocacy being extended on her behalf.

If you are able, please consider supporting Jamie’s treatment fund or sharing her story to help extend its reach.
