Cybersecurity Professional
Security, Cloud & AI Architect
I am a technology and cybersecurity leader with over 18 years of experience helping organizations harness cloud, AI, and security technologies to drive business growth, resilience, and innovation. I hold a Ph.D. in Information Technology from the University of the Cumberlands, a Master's degree in Information Systems Management, and a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. Throughout my career, I have led enterprise security, cloud transformation, AI governance, and risk management initiatives across complex and highly regulated environments.
My passion lies in aligning technology strategy with business objectives. I work closely with executives, boards, security teams, and business stakeholders to transform cybersecurity from a compliance requirement into a strategic business enabler. Whether designing enterprise security architectures, leading AI governance programs, modernizing cloud platforms, or strengthening cyber resilience, I focus on creating measurable business outcomes while reducing risk.
I bring a unique blend of executive leadership, strategic vision, and deep technical expertise. This enables me to translate complex security, AI, and infrastructure challenges into clear, actionable roadmaps that support organizational growth, regulatory compliance, and operational excellence.
