Expectations

I thrive in chaos - that is, building non-siloed teams to work together on many technology and cyber security initiatives at once to keep the "trains running on time." My technical background allows for instant credibility with execution teams while still being able to de-techie problems for effective executive communications. For my next job, I would like to lead a global functional team of technical staff to deliver continuously reliable and secure IT services and solutions to a corporate enterprise.
