Cleveland, Ohio, United States
Technology risk leader with an engineering and data security background focused on translating complex engineering and cybersecurity risks into governance insights for executive leadership. With over three years of experience as an Internal IT Audit Manager and the comprehensive knowledge validated by my CISSP certification, I offer a unique perspective on fortifying an organization's bottom line. My career has been built on more than just identifying flaws; it's about optimizing resilience to create a competitive advantage. In my role as an Internal IT Audit Manager, I’ve had a front-row seat to the intricate inner workings of an enterprise, allowing me to understand precisely how security vulnerabilities can impact market value, brand reputation, and operational efficiency. I have a proven track record of converting technical assessments into clear, actionable strategies that protect revenue and ensure business continuity. The CISSP has further honed my ability to see the "big picture." It has enabled me to seamlessly bridge the gap between technical controls and strategic risk management. I am adept at collaborating with C-suite executives to align security programs with business objectives, manage stakeholder expectations, and implement proactive measures that not only reduce risk but also enhance customer trust and drive sustainable growth. My ultimate goal is to evolve an organization's security posture beyond a cost center and into a strategic enabler of business success. My blend of practical audit experience and strategic cybersecurity knowledge provides a holistic vision for protecting critical assets, securing market position, and ultimately, ensuring the long-term health of the business.
