Security should be about building bridges, not raising walls.

In well-run companies, the corporate finance organization does far more than merely controlling costs — they ensure financial resources are put to the best possible use to grow the business. I apply that same mindset to security: building solutions that connect companies with their customers while protecting everyone's interests.

My career spans the full stack — from network engineering and systems architecture through to executive-level governance, risk management, and regulatory strategy. I've had the privilege of working with organizations from startups to Fortune 500 enterprises, and cloud providers themselves. One truth is constant: incorporating security in the earliest phases of designing products and services drastically improves the most precious feature of all — customer trust.

I currently serve as Chief Security Advisor at Workday, where I'm leading the transformation of cybersecurity and privacy governance from manual processes to AI-enabled, automation-driven systems. Previously, I built and led a 300+ person global identity and security organization at AWS.
