My professional career consists of over 12 years of experience in the IT Audit, Security, and Operations disciplines for a Fortune 500 company. One of my primary value adds in those positions has been to bridge the gap between IT and the business and help make sure policies and security controls are both cost effective and useful for the business (not just security for security sake). My educational background in Finance & Business Management are a big benefit in this endeavor and help keep me focused on the end result which is ensuring that business can continue to operate with acceptable security controls necessary to support on-going operations.
