About

Currently exploring CISO and senior security leadership opportunities across BC, Canada, and US (remote).

I lead with clarity in complexity - blending human insight, calm, and decisive action to drive trust, resilience, and meaningful change in cybersecurity and risk management.


Over 16 years, I’ve protected $1+ billion in business value with zero material breaches across Fortune 100/500 organizations - serving in CISO-level, advisory, and leadership capacities for digital and business transformations.


My Experience:

I led enterprise security strategy for Teck’s digital transformation, building programs across cybersecurity, third-party risk, AI governance, business transformation - ERP security (SAP S/4HANA), and business controls. I established a security champion network of 100+ professionals, security ambassadors of 5+ senior executives, and advised the CIO and senior executives on strategic risk.


At Deloitte, I served as Manager in Cyber Risk Services, advising Fortune 100/500 C-suite executives globally across healthcare, energy, financial services, manufacturing, and public sectors. I led complex security transformations and built Deloitte’s global Application Security capabilities across 43 countries.

In my first career as a Senior Software Engineer at Infosys, developing solutions ranging from Facebook (then, now Meta) Portal integrations to enterprise systems, helped build the technical experience that grounds my strategic work today.

What I Bring:

• Enterprise security strategy and CISO-level organizational leadership
• Digital transformation security leadership(ERP/SAP, cloud, AI governance)
• Third-party and cyber risk management
• C-suite and board advisory
• People-first leadership and security culture building
• GRC, compliance, and audit readiness (SOX, ISO 27001, NIST, ISA-IEC 62443)

My Approach:

I take a strategic view - understanding why before what, which risks to take and which to minimize. I build trust within teams and cultivate cross-functional collaboration to drive cultural shifts, process optimization, and innovation at scale.

I’m passionate about equitable, diverse, and inclusive workplaces. I’ve chaired equity committees, mentor emerging security leaders through ISACA, and create environments where people bring their authentic selves.

Open to: CISO, VP Security, and senior risk leadership roles - full-time, contract/interim, fractional, and board advisory.
