United States - New York, New York

For the past decade I’ve been focused on information security in many diverse forms. I have led an information security consulting practice within industry leading organizations including GE Healthcare and Neohapsis or as an entrepreneur/founder of The Hacker Academy and MAD Security, where we bootstrapped the company to over $25M in revenue in the first 4 years. For the past year, I've been building out the global research function at Lookout, where we're leading detection of malware, vulnerabilities and risky applications on mobile platforms.

I’ve built global information security programs and have a proven track record of implementing pragmatic and results-driven security organizations which balance risks against business imperatives and rewards. I have always taken a "talent first" approach, surrounding myself with great people (who really deserve all the credit) and doing what I could to enable them and our business partners to execute on information security outcomes from a business focus.

I stay active on the speaking circuit providing thought leadership on information security topics and trends including (keywords to follow): enterprise information security, security architecture, security technologies, security risk management, security operations, social engineering, human penetration testing, penetration testing , information security strategy, information security governance, security risk assessments, information security awareness and education, secure software development, security event incident management, security business strategy, security careers, building great security teams, incident response, vulnerability and patch management, third party security assessments, security metrics and security measurement.
