I am a passionate information security strategist with years of information security experience and years of experience establishing, growing, and leading enterprise information security programs for large organizations. I currently serve as security architect for a highly-regulated Fortune consumer packaged goods company. My prior experience includes technical, leadership, and hybrid roles within a Fortune manufacturing firm, a university, a startup, and a consultancy. As a results-oriented collaborative leader, I seek to develop long-term relationships with individuals at all levels of the organization. By identifying needs and business objectives and articulating risk in terms that are understood, I develop and implement practical, prioritized, and palatable risk management solutions. I love information security because it's fast-paced, varied, and ever-evolving and because I enjoy tackling the underappreciated human and process sides of information security as much as I do the technology side. Through my consultancy, Befriend, I'm providing information security consulting services, developing IT security tools, and performing information security and privacy research. As an active member of the local and international information security community I've been involved in planning events such as the EDUCAUSE Security Conference and the VA SCAN Conference, presented at conferences such as DerbyCon, RVAsec, SOURCE Seattle, SecTor, BSides Las Vegas, and ShmooCon, and collaborated with colleagues as a member of groups such as ISSA, OWASP, the Texas CISO Council, and the Commonwealth of Virginia Information Security Council. Whether you'd like to find out how I can help you, have an idea about how we can collaborate, or have a business opportunity you'd like to share, I'd love to talk.
