I'm the CEO of Whistic, where we help companies manage third-party risk with clarity and speed. We're using AI to do what security products couldn't before: actually understand vendor risk at scale, not just collect more questionnaires. I spent years leading engineering teams, shipping complex products under pressure, mentoring through ambiguity, and making hard calls when timelines demanded it. Those lessons shaped how I lead today. I'm leading Whistic through fundamental transformation: radical candor, radical transparency, and decision frameworks that eliminate ambiguity. We're building a culture where speed wins, accountability is kind, and everyone knows where they stand. What drives me: solving hard problems with honest people, building systems that scale, and creating environments where great work happens naturally. If you're interested in leadership evolution, organizational transformation, or rethinking how security actually gets done, then let's connect.
