I have worked on both sides of the fences, from large Enterprise Security Teams to Small SaaS Startups.
✅Compliance: I have helped companies with compliance and certification efforts including SOC 2 and ISO.
👨🏼🚒Incident Response: I have run firsthand incident response for companies several times in multiple scenarios, including internal and external investigations. I also understand the nuances and importance of having a well executed and rehearsed IR/Communication plan as well keeping leadership informed to help make the right decisions.
🛣️Roadmaps: I have a founder’s mentality and product management mindset and understand the difficulty of managing priorities in Engineering. I’ve put together multiple security roadmaps and budgets and have worked with product leaders to influence their product roadmaps.
🫱🏽🫲🏽Team Building: Expert in hiring and recruiting technical and skilled leaders and ICs. As someone with a technical and leadership background and entrepreneur, I know very well the importance of hiring and how to screen people, ask the right questions, and measure their soft and hard skills. I have helped and led the hiring of CISO’s, Directors, and ICs.
I am also an 📖author, 📰writer, 🎙️podcast host, and 🗣️public speaker.
