I’m a Senior Manager of Solution Architects with over 25 years of experience at the intersection of cybersecurity, technical presales, and business strategy. I lead high-performing, geographically distributed teams focused on translating complex security challenges into measurable business outcomes. My focus is simple: drive growth, improve operational discipline, and build teams that win. At Barracuda Networks, I partner closely with sales leadership, channel partners, and customers to accelerate pipeline conversion, increase win rates, and shorten sales cycles. I also lead strategic initiatives around onboarding, reporting discipline, and scalable presales execution—ensuring our team operates with clarity, accountability, and consistency.

I hold my team to high standards while investing in their growth, career progression, and long-term success. Prior to my current role, I spent decades in information security consulting, supporting federal agencies, state and local governments, law enforcement, and enterprise organizations—building a foundation that continues to shape how I approach risk, customer trust, and solution design.
