Comfortable briefing CISOs, mentoring teams, or training end users, he’s repeatedly carried institutional knowledge through multiple company transitions and account spin-offs. His career includes leading access-control and AD architecture for large enterprise environments and running high-availability services for startups and Fortune-scale customers alike.
