Leadership Philosophy

My approach to building world-class security programs.

Business Enabler

Security shouldn't be a blocker. I design architectures that accelerate sales cycles (RFP response reduction) and enable rapid, safe product releases.

Data-Driven Defense

I believe in measurable security. From reducing MTTD by 50% to ingestion of 200GB/day logs, I build programs based on metrics, not guesswork.

Culture of Security

Technology alone fails. I mentor teams and embed security champions within engineering to create a proactive, security-first organizational DNA.

Strategic Impact & Career Milestones

Delivering measurable security outcomes through architectural leadership and technical innovation across critical domains.
