About

Systems-driven leader who aligns technical security with enterprise objectives. I specialize in removing the bottlenecks that typically stall global compliance, ensuring that security is a catalyst for growth rather than a hurdle. Expertise & Impact: • Accelerated Program Execution: A proven track record of bootstrapping global GRC programs in 60% of the standard time frame through iterative experimentation and lean methodology. • Data-Driven Executive Insights: I leverage Advanced Data Visualization (Tableau/Power BI) to translate fragmented technical data into a clear, risk-based narrative that empowers executive boards to make confident, rapid decisions. • Enterprise Risk Orchestration: 15+ years of experience architecting risk frameworks for global payments and supply chain portfolios, ensuring strict adherence to international regulations without sacrificing business agility. • Strategic Organizational Alignment: A trusted partner to Legal, Finance, and Engineering, skilled at synthesizing competing departmental priorities into a unified, secure operational strategy.

    I took a planned sabbatical from Visa to invest in technical depth I couldn't build while running a global data governance program. My time away also coincided with the early LLM wave, which gave me the space to evaluate it without distraction. What I saw reinforced what I'd proven at Visa: strong governance and practical process outperform reactive, and often frenetic, tooling every time.
