I am a seasoned Director of IT Security and Operations Executive with over two decades of experience leading enterprise cybersecurity programs, technology operations, and governance initiatives across healthcare, manufacturing, and startup environments. My career has spanned high-impact leadership roles including Plant Information Security Officer (PISO) at Navistar Inc., Chief Information Security Officer at High Wire Networks, Senior Executive at Sentinel Technologies, and Chief Security Officer at R1 RCM.
I specialize in building and scaling cybersecurity programs that align with business objectives and regulatory requirements, drawing on frameworks such as NIST CSF, ISO 27001/2, CIS Top 20, and MITRE ATT&CK/DEFEND. My leadership includes standing up 24x7 Security Operations Centers (SOC), developing GRC programs, integrating OT/IT security at manufacturing plants, and driving compliance in regulated industries (HIPAA, PCI, SOX, ISO 27799).
In addition to enterprise leadership, I have hands-on expertise in SOC operations, incident response, vulnerability management, and SIEM/SOAR optimization (Sumo Logic, ServiceNow, Claroty CTD, Hexagon EAM, Rockwell FactoryTalk, among others). I bring strong financial and operational discipline, often structuring programs with detailed CAPEX/OPEX models, cost-share frameworks, and measurable ROI.
Today, I am also leading innovative AI-driven security ventures as Vice President of Operations for MapGeneSys LLC, where I help design next-generation SOCaaS and IaaS solutions that automate Level-1 analyst functions, accelerate triage, and increase detection accuracy. My approach blends technical depth, business strategy, and cross-functional leadership—helping organizations reduce risk, improve resilience, and achieve sustainable security maturity.More...
