Protecting data with
clarity & trust.

Nearly two decades protecting what matters most — your data.

I’ve worked alongside Fortune 500 organizations, executive leadership teams, and security practitioners to build practical, business-focused data security programs that reduce risk while enabling innovation. My experience spans Data Security, DLP, DSPM, AI governance, data governance, cloud security, and executive advisory.

Today, I serve as a Field CISO, advisor, speaker, and host of the Guardians of the Data podcast — translating complex security challenges into clear, actionable strategies for business and technology leaders.

Successful security programs are built on clarity, trust, and strong partnerships. The real challenge isn’t just technology — it’s helping organizations understand where their data lives, why it matters, who should have access to it, and how to protect it without slowing the business down.

Outside of cybersecurity: strength training, gaming, LEGO, fishing — and a proud pirate heritage. The same principles that guided great captains — know your environment, navigate uncertainty, build a trusted crew — run through everything I do.
