He served on the ISO/SAE 21434 joint working group and is a Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional, bringing rare standards-level influence to product engineering. Previously he led product cybersecurity for Magna and managed risk-advisory engagements at Ernst & Young, creating roadmaps, threat analyses, and organization-wide training programs.
