Chief Information Security Officer
I turn security from a checkbox into a competitive advantage. Four startups. Zero audit findings. Fifteen years of building programs that actually work.

Currently CISO at Coral AI. Before that: Auditive, PayNearMe, Roostify. Each time, I came in before there was a security team—sometimes before there was a security anything—and built the foundations.
My philosophy is simple: security should be part of the culture, not a tax on engineering. That means building relationships, not just policies. Creating processes people actually follow. Focusing on what matters for the business, not just what looks good on a compliance checklist.
I stay hands-on where it counts—architectures, controls, the stuff that matters. But the real leverage is in how you structure the program. I'm building teams where AI handles the soul-crushing work so security people can do actual security work.
