Bio
I’m a cybersecurity leader with nearly 15 years of experience helping organizations manage risk, strengthen resilience, and build trust in an increasingly complex digital landscape. As Director of Cybersecurity at Blackbaud, I lead teams across Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), Business Information Security (BISO), and Customer Trust—aligning security strategy with business outcomes.
My focus is translating cybersecurity into business value. I partner closely with executive leadership, product, legal, and engineering teams to embed security into the fabric of the organization—whether that’s navigating regulatory obligations, advancing cybersecurity risk management, or enabling secure innovation in areas like AI.
I’m particularly passionate about:
-Building scalable cybersecurity programs grounded in frameworks like NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and AI RMF
-Driving risk-informed decision making through metrics, maturity assessments, and risk quantification
-Enabling secure product development and responsible AI adoption
-Developing high-performing teams and future security leaders
I regularly engage with industry communities to stay ahead of emerging threats and best practices and I am passionate about mentoring others in the field.
At the core of my work is a simple goal: make cybersecurity a strategic enabler—not a barrier—to business growth.
