Cybersecurity Consulting

Strategic guidance for building resilient security programs

Expert Guidance for Complex Security Challenges

With more than 25 years of experience across critical infrastructure, financial services, and government sectors, I help organizations navigate their most pressing cybersecurity challenges.

Whether you're building a security program from scratch, navigating AI adoption, or need to translate technical risk into executive language, I provide practical, actionable guidance grounded in real-world experience.

My approach focuses on understanding your organization's unique context—not selling products or pushing certifications—and helping you make informed decisions that balance security, risk, and business objectives.
