I am a cyber security and IT leader with over 20 years of experience across government, healthcare, academia, and telecommunications. I have a proven track record in leading large-scale cyber security initiatives, enhancing governance frameworks, and managing multi-million-dollar budgets. My expertise lies in implementing advanced security measures to safeguard critical infrastructure and ensuring compliance with state, federal, and international standards.

I have extensive experience in risk management, security architecture, and stakeholder engagement, and I work closely with C-suite executives and legal counsel to align cyber security strategies with broader business objectives. With a strong technical background, I’m skilled at translating complex security concepts for both technical and non-technical audiences, and I actively promote cross-jurisdictional partnerships to strengthen cyber security resilience.

I’m passionate about advancing the field of cyber security through academic leadership, consultancy, and collaboration. I’ve launched new programs and secured competitive grants, including developing industry recognised certifications and postgraduate degrees. As a recognised thought leader, I continuously strive to drive innovation and excellence in cyber security and privacy.
