SC Media Editorial Intelligence, reviewed by Arvin Verma

Visionary and results-driven Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and GRC Executive with 15+ years of experience protecting military, federal, and global corporate enterprises from evolving cyber threats. As a trusted advisor to Boards and C-suite leadership, I translate complex risk landscapes into actionable security strategies that protect brand equity, revenue, and operational resilience.

My leadership career spans global cybersecurity roles at Abbott Laboratories and PepsiCo, complemented by cyber advisory experience at Ernst & Young (EY). I specialize in accelerating cyber, privacy, and security maturity programs within aggressive timelines and budgets, aligning security architecture directly with enterprise business objectives.

As a transformational leader, I build and scale high-performance global teams, drive AI-driven security innovation, and deliver measurable compliance outcomes across GDPR, NIST, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, CMMC, and FedRAMP frameworks.
A lifelong learner and servant leader, I hold a BS and MS in Information Systems alongside elite industry credentials including CISSP, CCISO, CISM, and ISO 27001 Lead Auditor certifications. I am passionate about advancing security as a true business enabler—driving resilience, trust, and competitive advantage in an increasingly complex digital world.
