Product & Technology Leader - Cybersecurity, Product Security, Network Security, AI Security and Ethical AI | MS-CS & EMBA, USC
California, United States
Visionary Product and Engineering Leader with decades of experience driving innovation and growth across the cybersecurity landscape. I specialize in turning complex challenges into profitable ventures, operating at the intersection of Cybersecurity, AI, Software Engineering, and Finance.
I am a proven P&L expert known for building businesses from the ground up—transforming ventures from $0 to multi-million revenues—and revitalizing underperforming product lines. My focus is always on maximizing efficacy & efficiency, delivering measurable financial results.
Key Impact & Achievements
Strategic Turnaround & Growth: Successfully led a comprehensive refresh of a major managed security business at Verizon, optimizing cost and pricing models to restore profitability to the venerable service. Simultaneously launched a portfolio of critical new products, including multi-cloud connectivity and next-gen detection services.
Operational Excellence: Orchestrated a massive platform consolidation effort, driving a 20% reduction in operational costs and dramatically improving platform margin from a negative 20% to a positive 5%. This work included launching the strategic Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) product line.
Venture Creation: Built and scaled a website security management business from $0 to a multi-million-dollar operation for Verizon Media Edgecast CDN business which included establishing and leading a 24/7 global security response team.
Foundational Security Leadership (CISO): As Interim-CISO for an AT&T SpinOff (YP), I literally created the entire Information Security department, strategy, and operational processes from the ground up, ensuring robust security posture from day one.
Innovation: Recognized for launching first-of-its-kind products and holding six patents on advanced topics such as 5G MEC Security and automated security defenses. Designed and rolled out new, company-wide vulnerability management and threat modeling programs at Intuit.
Education: I hold a rare blend of credentials—an MBA and an MS in Computer Science (both from USC)—providing a unique foundation in deep software engineering knowledge, transformative business strategy, and effective P&L management.
Personal Interests: When I'm not focused on cybersecurity leadership, I enjoy time on the court as a recreational tennis player and performing as an amateur jazz musician.
