My experience and expertise allow me to develop and maintain a risk register of potential threats to the enterprise, advance formal security risk analysis and assessment programs, and collaborate with executives, operations leadership, general counsel, and business units to remediate new and outstanding risks. I also lead and develop the organization's Cyber Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) and maintain a framework that allows for the ongoing achievement of annual SOC II Type II compliance, and ISO 27001 & 27701 certifications.
As a thought leader capable of building consensus within a complex, high-growth organization while integrating people, processes, and technology, I am committed to promoting and advocating enterprise-wide security awareness programs and providing regular security updates to executive and other leadership teams.

About
I am a cybersecurity leader with over 14 years of professional experience in information security governance, risk, and compliance (GRC). I hold multiple certifications, including CISM, GRCP, and GRCA, and I have a degree in cybersecurity from Charter Oak State College.
As the Head of Information Security at K2 Services, I build and lead a security team in defining and implementing an enterprise-wide information security program, providing oversight, strategic direction, and technical leadership to the organization. I collaborate with leaders across the enterprise to champion and lead the K2 Services Information Security Program, prioritize and execute security initiatives to protect the business and brand, and ensure compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and company policies. I am also accountable for proactively monitoring and responding to security threats and incidents, and implementing practices to safeguard the enterprise's data and technology assets.
I am passionate about information security and its integration into all aspects of business operations. I believe that a top-down approach is crucial for ensuring effective information security management, and that engaging employees and key stakeholders is key to instilling a culture of awareness and advocacy. In 2018, I was selected as a winner of the ALFN JPEG Picture the Future Award, which recognizes stand-out young professionals in the industry. I am always eager to learn new skills, share best practices, and contribute to the advancement of the cybersecurity field.
