About

I help organizations seize opportunities technonolgy can offer, protect their data and systems while making sense of privacy laws. Over my 15+ years in cybersecurity, I've worn many hats - from developing security software, to DPO, to stepping in as interim CISO. I believe that cybersecurity works best when everyone understands it - not just the technical folks. That's why I like creating bridges between technical teams, management, and end users, breaking down complex security concepts into practical actions. Currently at KPMG Canada, I work with companies to help them navigate privacy regulations and build stronger security practices.
