Visionary Cybersecurity Leader & Technical Expert

I am a strategic cybersecurity leader with deep technical expertise in security operations, application security, and infrastructure protection. With a proven track record of implementing robust security strategies, leading high-performing teams, and driving technological innovation, I excel at translating complex technical concepts into actionable business strategies while maintaining hands-on proficiency in cutting-edge security technologies.

Currently serving as Security Operations Manager at Known Global LLC, I spearhead the implementation of comprehensive Security Operations Centers, deploy enterprise-grade security platforms (SIEM, XDR, SOAR, CNAPP), and drive strategic initiatives including successful ISO 27001 compliance. My background includes systems administration at Montefiore Saint Luke's Cornwall Hospital, where I orchestrated infrastructure overhauls and pioneered automation solutions that transformed operational efficiency. This unique blend of hands-on technical expertise and strategic leadership allows me to architect and implement resilient security programs that not only defend against emerging threats but also align with and advance key business objectives.

My expertise extends across threat management, cloud security, risk and compliance, and automation. I have a history of successfully securing multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure), ensuring adherence to regulatory frameworks like HIPAA and GDPR, and leveraging AI-driven automation to enhance security operations. I am passionate about building and leading teams that are not only technically proficient but also deeply integrated with the business, ensuring that security is a catalyst for growth and innovation.
