Work Background

Winterhawk Consulting (Acquired by Pathlock Spun out to Pentafour))Senior Manager Consultant
Jun. 2017As Project Manager for enterprise implementations, I provide strategic leadership and end-to-end oversight of complex initiatives, ensuring alignment with business objectives, timelines, and compliance requirements.

My role involves advising clients on critical decision-making, drawing on deep expertise in systems integration, regulatory frameworks, and operational risk. A key focus of my work has been on cybersecurity initiatives, where I have led projects related to Identity and Access Management (IAM), compliance readiness (e.g., NIST, SOX, CMMC), and data classification to help clients strengthen their security posture. Additionally, I have supported the delivery and governance of data-driven projects, contributing to improved data management practices, increased process efficiency, and enhanced insight for business operations.
