Professional Experience
Senior IT and security leader with 15+ years of experience in technology strategy, cybersecurity, and IT operations — built and lead the technology function for a national nonprofit news organization.
I lead IT and security programs that keep organizations resilient, compliant, and ready to scale. I built the IT function from the ground up for a national nonprofit newsroom — strategy, budget, security posture, and the support model for a fully remote workforce.
My focus is turning strategy into dependable, measurable results: maturing security programs, negotiating enterprise vendor agreements, and delivering responsive IT service with a lean team. I've worked across a wide range of organizations, from global technology companies to nonprofits and public education.
Outcomes delivered across enterprise, nonprofit, and public-sector environments.
Commissioned an independent 225-factor security audit and delivered the executive briefing to the CEO and board, with a prioritized remediation roadmap covering incident response, endpoint hardening, SIEM, and business continuity.
First technology leader in company history — established strategy, budget, tooling, policies, and the support model for ~90 fully remote staff across three editorial brands.
Managed a $1M+ technology budget and reduced vendor spend by 20% while improving service delivery, negotiating enterprise agreements with Google, Atlassian, Zoom, Arc XP, Microsoft, and Cloudflare.
Lead AI governance and secure adoption — authoring the company's AI use policy and evaluating enterprise AI platforms against security and compliance requirements.
