I specialize in the "messy middle" - the complex space where security best practices meet business reality. With 25 years of experience viewing security crises and transformations from multiple perspectives (internal leader, vendor expert, and prevention architect), I help organizations implement practical security solutions that work in the real world. My unique approach combines: • Pattern recognition from managing security crises across diverse contexts • Practical experience balancing compliance requirements with business needs • Deep understanding of both legacy and modern security architectures I focus on creating achievable security transformations that acknowledge and work within real-world constraints while maintaining robust protection.
