A mission-focused cybersecurity and intelligence professional with executive experience leading enterprise cybersecurity and intelligence operations. I was the CISO for NGA, and have held other cyber and intelligence leadership positions during my military experience. I honed the ability to match operational and cyber risk to achieve organizational outcomes; assess an organization’s threat landscape and manage resources appropriate to threats; and have led pioneering methods to involve security earlier in software development. I consistently seek out and address a problem’s root cause and provide innovative solutions.
