About

With over 24 years of experience in software engineering, cybersecurity and leadership, I lead Application and Offensive Security at bp, overseeing global application security, penetration testing, and red team programs that strengthen the resilience of thousands of business-critical applications across 70+ countries. My teams partner closely with engineering and product organizations to proactively identify risk, validate security controls, and raise the overall security posture of a large-scale, complex enterprise. In parallel, I currently serve as Interim Head of Cyber Incident Response, leading a 24×7 global CSIRT responsible for protecting multi-billion-dollar operations worldwide. In this role, I focus on incident readiness, effective response and escalation, and translating incidents into durable security and resilience improvements across the organization. I also actively contribute to the global cybersecurity community, including volunteering as a NOC Goon at DEF CON, helping secure one of the most adversarial network environments in the world.
