20+ Years of Security Leadership, Now Accessible to Every Organization

I started CISO Advisors because I kept seeing the same problem: organizations that desperately needed senior security leadership couldn't afford — or didn't need — a full-time CISO. The result was security programs built on guesswork, compliance gaps that became liabilities, and leaders left to navigate complex frameworks without a guide.

My career spans some of the most complex security environments in the country — from federal healthcare (Healthcare.gov) to Fortune 500 healthcare (UnitedHealth Group / Optum) to global hospitality (Carnival Corporation) to higher education (Tulane University). I've built programs from scratch, navigated high-stakes breaches, led IAM transformations, and presented risk to boards and executive teams.

CISO Advisors brings that experience directly to your organization — whether you need a fractional CISO partner, a one-time assessment, or ready-to-use GRC templates to accelerate your compliance program.

  • Senior Security Leader
    UnitedHealth Group / Optum — Healthcare IT Security
  • Cybersecurity Executive
    Carnival Corporation — Global Hospitality
  • Security Program Leadership
    Tulane University — Higher Education
  • Federal Healthcare Security
    Healthcare.gov — Federal Program
