> CISO of the NFL, 3x CISO advising PE & VC on cyber, AI, and technology risk at scale

Chief Information Security Officer of the National Football League, responsible for protecting data, platforms, and operations supporting tens of millions of fans and globally visible events.

Former CISO at International Flavors & Fragrances and JPMorgan Chase, with senior technology risk leadership roles at Goldman Sachs across financial services, manufacturing, and global media environments.

Advisor to PE and VC-backed companies on product readiness, enterprise sales, M&A diligence, and post-acquisition integration where security, AI, and operational risk materially affect growth and exit outcomes.

Founders work with me to pressure-test architecture and security maturity as they scale into regulated and enterprise markets.

Investors use me as a practical sounding board to identify real risk, prioritize remediation, and avoid post-close surprises.

Things I can advise on:
✔️ How to assess product readiness
✔️ Guidance on enterprise security
✔️ Tips on AI governance
✔️ Best practices for scaling platforms
✔️ Advice on M&A diligence
✔️ How to reduce technology risk
✔️ Guidance on board reporting

I focus on substance over noise, helping leaders move fast, protect value, and turn their product into a “need to have,” not a “nice to have.”

**Rating:** 5/5 (1 reviews)
