Career experience
My experience combines direct ownership of a technology function with enterprise advisory work and military leadership. Across those roles, the responsibility has been consistent: understand the problem, make the decision, and lead the execution.

Where I can contribute
I’m interested in leadership roles that connect strategy, technology, and operating performance, with clear responsibility for people and results.
When priorities span several functions and execution needs an accountable leader: clarify the decisions, align the owners, and carry the work through.
When growth or acquisition has outpaced processes and systems: simplify the operating model, sequence change, and connect investments to measurable benefits.
When technical complexity affects customer commitments or business performance: connect specialists, executives, and commercial teams around practical decisions.
My technology and cybersecurity background is a foundation for broader operating responsibility. It brings experience making investment decisions, leading specialists, managing risk, and meeting the demands of regulated customers.
Exploring select internal and external executive opportunities. Based in North Carolina, with travel for the right mandate.
