About

I’m a CXO relationship strategist and global CISO community builder with more than a decade of experience uniting influential security leaders. My career has been spent designing high‑impact executive event programs, facilitating meaningful peer exchange, and building trusted relationships with CISOs from the world’s largest enterprises. At my core, I’m a connector. I thrive in environments where authenticity, curiosity, and collaboration drive outcomes. Whether I’m designing tailored executive experiences, gathering insights from security leaders, or partnering cross‑functionally to align programs with business goals, I bring energy, creativity, and a deep respect for the CISO role. I’ve led global roadshows, curated flagship executive summits, and built communities that help CISOs learn from one another while strengthening their relationship with the organizations I represent. I’m proud to be known for who I know, my executive presence, my ability to create memorable experiences, and my commitment to delivering measurable impact. A husband, dad of two boys, plant lover, and strong believer in the law of attraction.
