About
I help people solve security challenges. I am curious and love to create products and processes that have an impact in the lives of the people that use them. I love to make things easy for other people as often as I can. I am a firm believer in showing customers how we can provide value to them and their work instead of relying on stress, uncertainty, or fear to have security conversations. We all know the stakes, let's talk about positive stuff instead of churning on fear and negativity. I've been in cyber security for my entire career, and it's extremely satisfying for me to when I can make bad guys sad by taking away their toys or killing their access to my clients' environments. I also love helping good people get into the security industry. I had help and guidance on my security mission, and I find it extremely fulfilling to help people find their way to more interesting careers where they can make a real difference.

Over the past five years at SpyCloud, I've had the privilege of working across multiple departments.

Leading the way with so many functions of the business is a rare experience, and I'm excited to put more of that into practice with this new role.
