About

I build and scale engineering, product, and security organizations that deliver secure, scalable, and market-winning platforms. My focus: transforming complex technology and high-risk environments into engines of growth and resilience. Over 20+ years, I’ve led teams from early-stage startups to global tech leaders. At Netflix, I helped secure global cloud expansion; at Sumo Logic, I built their next-gen SIEM platform. I’ve co-founded multiple cybersecurity and services companies, navigated acquisitions, and scaled organizations from zero to high-performance at speed. My leadership style is rooted in clarity, inclusion, and ownership, aligning engineering, product, and go-to-market teams to deliver measurable business outcomes in high-velocity environments. I’m passionate about building teams and platforms that accelerate SaaS growth, advance cybersecurity, and empower innovation. Areas of impact: Engineering/product/security leadership, SaaS scaling, cybersecurity & data platforms, AI-driven security, and exceptional UX. Let’s connect if you’re looking for: Leadership in technology-driven growth, scaling high-impact teams, or transforming product & security strategies.
