Keynote presenter. Best-selling author. Technology executive.

I help companies innovate at the speed of today's market and stay secure while doing so.

I am a dynamic, motivating technology executive and author with 20 years experience in leadership positions. I have served as the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and Chief Information Officer (CIO) for several companies, including one on the S&P500. I was a technology leader at Target during the security breach of 2013/2014. I went through the financial bust of 2008 as a CIO and CISO of one of the lines of business of Wells Fargo and led my organization through the storm. I also have over 20 years of experience as an automobile racer, and have learned how lessons from the racetrack can help us prevent cybercrime attacks.

After hearing one of my presentations, your audience will learn:

  • How to distill fact from hype on cybersecurity and technology topics
  • How to make an emotional connection with those they need to influence.
  • How to tell a story around cyber security that people feel rather than just understand.
  • How to bridge the gap in communication with non-technology executives when discussing technology topics
