Work Style:

• Outcome-first: Business goals drive control selection and investment.

• Evidence-based: OSINT and telemetry inform priorities and prove progress.

• People-centered: Clear language, usable processes, and enablement for real teams.

• Vendor-neutral: Recommendations sized to your risk, culture, and budget.

• Global-minded: Comfortable across cultures and stakeholder groups—from boards to boots-on-ground.
