Founder & Principal Advisor
I've spent my career in the places where security risk meets business reality. Leading programs at state-chartered banks. Advising growth-stage fintechs. Building governance frameworks for organizations under regulatory pressure.
I started Sidewalk Security Advisors because too many regulated organizations are being underserved by IT vendors who can't translate technical risk into the language boards and examiners need to hear.
Mission
To give regulated organizations the security leadership they need but don't yet have in place.
If your board is asking hard questions about security and you don't have a clear answer, I'd like to help you build one. My goal is simple: make security something that works for everyone in the organization, not just the IT department.
