About
Operator experience, board-level perspective
Built it before advising on it
I spent 11+ years directly building and running enterprise infrastructure and security programs at Cisco, then 7 years advising Intuit's leadership at the executive level.
Technical risk, governed as business risk
Through Virtuminds, I help boards and executive teams translate AI and technical risk into governed business decisions — before a crisis forces the conversation.
Track record at scale
24+ years across Cisco, Intuit, and Fortune 100 enterprises, including a $150M regulatory compliance program guided to zero missed deadlines.

How we start
01
Introductory conversation
30 minutes, no obligation. We talk through the decision in front of you and whether I'm the right help.
02
Readiness Briefing
A focused 90-minute working session. You leave with your AI exposure mapped, the trade-offs laid out, and a board-defensible path forward.
03
Advisory
Ongoing counsel as the AI decisions get bigger — governance frameworks, board reporting, and a second set of eyes before commitments get made.
