A career built at the intersection of technology, security, and transformation

I have spent over twenty-five years working on the hardest problems in enterprise technology: building and securing the systems that organizations depend on, deploying new capabilities at scale, and leading the teams and businesses that make transformation real.

My career has been defined by a consistent through-line: the conviction that technology transformation is fundamentally an architectural challenge. The organizations that succeed are not those that deploy the most tools or adopt the latest trends. They are the ones that build the structures — technical, organizational, and governance — required to operate complex systems securely and at scale.

The Thread Across Sectors

I have worked across sectors that most technologists never bridge: federal cybersecurity at national scale, defense intelligence, commercial healthcare systems, critical infrastructure, and enterprise technology platforms. Each of these environments taught me something different about what it takes to make technology work when the stakes are real.

At the Department of Homeland Security, I learned what it means to build cyber analytics capabilities that protect national infrastructure. At Honeywell, I learned how to build and lead a global cybersecurity business serving the most demanding operational technology environments in the world. At MedStar Health, I learned how to build a digital business from the ground up inside a complex healthcare enterprise. At Booz Allen Hamilton, I learned how to operate at the intersection of technology, strategy, and mission.

The Problems That Matter

The problems I have spent my career on share common characteristics: they are cross-functional, they involve both technology and organizational change, they require operating under uncertainty, and they carry real consequences if you get them wrong.

These are not problems that can be solved with a product demo or a strategy slide. They require the ability to think architecturally across technology, business, and governance — and the operational discipline to execute at scale.

Why AI, Why Now

The current AI transformation represents the convergence of every challenge I have worked on: architecture, security, governance, operating models, and organizational change. Organizations are deploying powerful, opaque systems at unprecedented speed, often without the structural foundations required to operate them safely.

This is the challenge I am focused on now — what I call Secure AI Transformation. It is not about whether organizations should adopt AI. It is about how they build the architecture, governance, and operating models required to do so responsibly and at scale.

I founded R2 Advisory to bring this perspective to the organizations that need it most — and I write and speak on these topics to contribute to the broader conversation about how we build intelligent systems worthy of trust.
