San Francisco, California, United States
With a robust career spanning over two decades, I am dedicated to assisting global tech companies in crafting and executing strategies and technology solutions that foster customer TRUST while driving sustainable GROWTH. Every day, my mission is to make Internet a safer place for our friends, families, and communities. I specialize in addressing the challenges faced by FORTUNE 50 Tech companies regarding user trust and safety by delivering innovative solutions leveraging ML, AI, and cloud technologies within the framework of emerging global regulations. As a Global Advisory leader at KPMG serving the largest tech companies, I have cultivated extensive experience in building teams and solutions that empower both the core business and enterprise support functions. My expertise ranges from assisting in the launch of new products, establishing scalable infrastructure, to developing robust security and integrity capabilities that align with global risk and compliance standards. Driven by curiosity and a desire to innovate and contribute to the community, I co-authored The Purple Book of Software Security (published for free in May 2022) and actively engage in the Purple Book Community forums, where I share leading practices and solutions to safeguard software while enhancing developer productivity and help mentor next generation of leaders. My commitment to excellence extends beyond just leading with innovation; it is focused on shaping the future. I have played pivotal roles in the startup ecosystem, collaborating with entrepreneurs, investors, and board members, offering strategic advice on disruptive technologies, market trends, and finding the optimal balance between automation and risk management to enhance user experiences. I am deeply passionate about harnessing the power of technology to drive business growth, mitigate risks, and cultivate lasting trust within organizations and their customers.
