I am a cybersecurity executive with over 20 years of experience leading cyber operations, incident response, digital forensics, and risk management programs at national and global scale. My background spans government, national security, law enforcement, and the private sector, including senior roles supporting some of the world’s largest and most complex organizations.
I have served in senior leadership roles across government, national security, and the private sector, including as a CIO and CISO within the U.S. nuclear weapons complex, responsible for classified and unclassified IT and cybersecurity supporting a global national security mission. My experience also includes serving as an executive advisor at Gartner, a senior executive at the Center for Internet Security supporting nationally critical cybersecurity programs, and commanding an FBI cybercrimes task force while leading an ASCLD/LAB-accredited digital forensics laboratory. My work has included safeguarding national security systems, responding to major cyber incidents, providing expert witness testimony, and advising leaders on cybersecurity strategy, governance, and resilience.
Today, I lead Natsar, where I work with organizations around the world to strengthen cybersecurity programs through practical, experience-driven advisory services, incident response readiness, and executive-level guidance.
