I empower customer-centric tech firms to deliver innovative products and services that solve complex problems, develop game-changing differentiation versus competitors, and deliver specific and tangible benefits to customers, which in turn drives sales, market share, profitability and long-term customer satisfaction. I am able to accomplish this by leveraging my successful tenure at 6 leading global technology firms, experience developing and implementing cutting edge programs and products in a vast array of tech fields. I have an MBA, CISSP, CCSP and 13 more tech certifications, innovation resulting in 3 cybersecurity patents, and passion for problem solving and relationship building.
