Over the past 20 years, I’ve led IT strategy, infrastructure, and cybersecurity for venture capital, private equity, and multi-entity organizations — helping them scale securely, operate efficiently, and achieve regulatory excellence. My approach blends strategic vision with hands-on execution, ensuring that technology not only supports the business but also drives measurable growth and resilience.
I’ve built and modernized IT ecosystems across multiple industries, from financial services and venture capital to nonprofit and hospitality, guiding organizations through cloud transformation, data protection, and compliance readiness. Whether optimizing existing operations or building IT capabilities from the ground up, my focus remains the same: empower teams, strengthen security, and align technology with business outcomes.
