About

What keeps security leaders up at night isn’t just threats. It’s the noise, the complexity, and the disconnect between data and action. I’ve spent over two decades in cybersecurity, leading global operations at Bank of America and securing institutions like The World Bank. After years on the enterprise side, I made the leap into the vendor world to help startups grow. That journey brought me to Flashpoint, where I helped scale the business through a successful private equity acquisition and multiple company integrations. I’ve been fortunate to build teams, shape threat intelligence strategy, and turn security operations into outcomes. Now, as Co-Founder and COO of Abstract Security, I focus on helping CISOs reduce noise, lower costs, and detect faster by rethinking how security data is used. I’ve always believed the best opportunities in this space come from real collaboration. That belief led me to start and lead NinjaJobs, which quickly became one of the top cybersecurity recruiting platforms and search firms on the market, built entirely through trusted relationships. While I’ve since sold the company, I remain passionate about helping friends land roles and enterprises find the right talent. C2 Corner is the next step in that mission. It is a space for security leaders to share stories, connect through experience, and build what’s next together. Follow for weekly insights on scaling teams, securing organizations, and leading through change.

  • I co-founded NinjaJobs with Chris Clark to solve a very real problem in cybersecurity: finding and hiring trusted, specialized talent in a noisy and fragmented market.
  • What started as a community-driven job board grew into the industry’s leading cybersecurity hiring platform. Over time, NinjaJobs evolved beyond a marketplace and into a full recruiting business, supporting hundreds of highly specialized placements each year and working with more than 100 Fortune 500 companies.
  • As Founder and CEO, I led the company from zero to profitability, overseeing product development, platform architecture, partnerships, go-to-market strategy, and operations. We scaled the platform organically, built a trusted brand within the security community, and created a model that balanced community trust with commercial success.
  • In 2021, I transitioned out of the CEO role and handed leadership to Drea Fearson, who went on to scale the business further and ultimately acquire the company. Following the transition, I remained involved as a strategic advisor to support the team, the platform, and the next phase of growth.
  • Proud of what we built, the community that formed around it, and the lasting impact NinjaJobs continues to have across the cybersecurity industry.
