Who Am I?

I am an experienced CISO and business leader who has worked in multiple industries transforming security teams and cultures.

I share security strategies with the security community. Previously I was a CISO at Cisco, the CISO at The Ohio State University where I was awarded the 2018 ISE North American Academic/Public Sector Executive of the Year, and I was an Executive Director at JPMorganChase.

I encourage collaboration across and within industries, to enable better information security and privacy practices.  I believe in improving diversity and inclusion in the workforce, and mentor people interested in pursuing careers in security, privacy and risk management. 

I have a master’s degree in public policy and have earned various security and resiliency certifications. 

I served on the State of Ohio Cybersecurity Advisory Board, the National Center for Cybersecurity in Manufacturing Advisory Board, and was a  founding board member of the National Technology Security Coalition. I teach security leadership and board engagement to professionals, and “Herding the Cyber Cats” security risk to undergraduates.
