Passionate about Fostering Authenticity and Vulnerability in Leadership

As a dedicated technologist and forward-thinking leader, I blend my passion for technology with a steadfast commitment to diversity and inclusion. My expertise spans multiple industries, reinforced by leading credentials like CISSP, CCSP, and various Microsoft certifications. However, my true drive stems from a deeper place – a commitment to using technology as a force for positive change.

I am a firm believer in new leadership – a style that emphasizes empathy, transparency, and collaboration. My approach to leadership goes beyond technical mastery. It’s about creating an environment where collaboration thrives and diverse perspectives are not just welcomed but essential. I believe that true innovation springs from varied voices coming together, and I work tirelessly to make this a reality in the tech community.
