Biography

I’m a strategic, business-driven cybersecurity and risk executive with over 15 years of experience leading enterprise risk management, cybersecurity strategy, IT governance, and compliance initiatives across Fortune 500 companies and global organizations. My passion lies in building scalable, results-oriented security programs that not only mitigate risk but also align seamlessly with business objectives.

Throughout my career, I’ve led cross-functional teams in the design and execution of global cybersecurity frameworks, GRC platforms, and third-party risk management strategies—ensuring compliance with complex regulatory environments including NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR. I bring a rare combination of deep technical knowledge, C-suite level communication skills, and hands-on leadership, driving transformation through both strategy and execution.

As someone who thrives in high-growth, high-complexity environments, I’m energized by opportunities to create and scale offerings from the ground up. I’ve helped shape risk-aware cultures, embedded cybersecurity into core business operations, and consistently delivered measurable impact—from improving security postures to enabling business innovation securely.

As the Practice Director of Cyber and Information Security at Toptal, I advocate for digital accessibility as a fundamental aspect of technology strategy. Through Toptal’s accessibility solutions, we help organizations create inclusive, compliant, and user-friendly digital experiences—ensuring access for all users while reducing legal risk and aligning with WCAG and ADA standards.
