Bio

Kiwi/US experienced operational and executive leader, board director and advisor, technology and cybersecurity subject matter expert. As a leader I am experienced at holding responsibility and accountability for all key decisions impacting companies, employees and their investors. My experience includes board participation and advice, public company executive support, strategic and tactical guidance, and the creation and execution of world-class technology programs supporting global enterprise initiatives. I approach leadership and consider risk management both tactically and strategically. I build consensus, encourage and enable quick decision making, and develop and deliver plans in a collaborative manner but with a sense of urgency. I am an active member of the cybersecurity community and I serve as a subject matter expert on technical and non-technical security issues. I can evaluate and recommend security standards and solutions and have extensive experience using and evaluating security and IT technologies, including security assessment technologies, corporate IT systems, enterprise and product data management, network infrastructure, embedded systems/IoT, Cloud, SaaS and on-prem infrastructure. As an American and New Zealand citizen I hold much respect for the intelligence community I once served. In addition, I leverage my original training in classical ballet to continuously adapt, analyze, identify opportunities and create defensive strategies in an evolving global technology and threat landscape.
