About

I’m passionate about building meaningful products that solve real-world problems. I co-founded Galink, a SaaS platform that helps companies regain control over their suppliers and reduce cyber risk across their external ecosystem. Our mission: to reinvent how organizations manage third-party risk in a world where 60% of cyberattacks now come through partners or vendors. At Galink, we combine product vision, UX obsession, and cybersecurity excellence to deliver a solution that’s simple, clear, and (actually) useful for procurement, IT, risk, and compliance teams.
