About

In the modern threat landscape, data without context is noise. I specialize in turning that noise into signal. With over 22 years of experience, I bridge the critical gap between complex data ecosystems and executive strategy. Currently, as a Principal at Verizon, I am spearheading the "Strategic Lenses" initiative, synthesizing nearly 500 security metrics into a unified BI framework that drives C-suite decision-making. Previously, as a VP at Citi, I led data governance and risk reporting for over 10,000 users globally, managing enterprise-scale intelligence across 60+ servers. My expertise lies in translating technical data (Python, Tableau, Qlik) into actionable governance frameworks. I don't just build dashboards; I build transparency. Whether it's reducing manual reporting hours by 60% or predicting workforce capabilities through data modeling, I focus on automation that enhances risk posture. I am passionate about the intersection of AI Leadership, Cyber Governance, and Analytics. If you are looking to discuss the future of data-driven security or AI leadership, let’s connect. Top Skills: Cybersecurity Strategy, Executive Reporting, Python/Tableau Automation, Risk Governance.
