You’re navigating a world where the threat landscape is evolving faster than most organizations can adapt—whether you build software, shape policy, make security decisions, or defend critical systems. I help you make sense of it all so you can focus on action.

With over two decades of experience spanning the U.S. government, leading academic institutions, and the private sector—including service under three different presidential administrations—I bring strategic clarity to complex security challenges.

I advise leaders at the intersection of cybersecurity, technology, and policy. I’ve shaped national security strategy, built public interest tech initiatives, and led the government’s flagship Secure by Design movement. I know how systems work—and how to change them. Whether you're a tech company facing mounting regulatory pressure, a nonprofit trying to secure sensitive data, or a leader looking to spark meaningful change, I offer sharp, actionable guidance rooted in real-world impact.
