  • Partner on AI, Architecture, Identity & Cloud Security - Influence roadmaps (zero trust, logging/telemetry standards) and align controls with frameworks/regulations (NIST/ISO/PCI/GDPR, etc.). Understand risks to AI and the detection and response lifecycle related to AI threats.
  • Manage Technology, Vendors & Budget - Rationalize tooling for capability and cost efficiency; manage contracts, outcomes-based engagements, third-party integration, and M&A onboarding.
  • Build High-Performance Teams & Culture - Recruit, develop, and mentor global leaders; drive efficiency, continuous learning, and clear planning.
