Full profile

Identity & Access Management Leader | Enterprise Security, SSO/PAM/IGA, Strategic Technology Leadership

With 26+ years across the technology landscape, including 8+ dedicated to identity and access management,I'm a delivery-driven IAM leader who architects enterprise identity programs, engineers identity federation, and translates security objectives into scalable technical strategy.

As a customer-facing technical lead, I own incident response, change management, SLAs, and operational reporting, sustaining a 2-hour average ticket resolution across 35,000+ endpoints and 450 locations. My career foundation in federal-sector work instilled rigorous security, compliance, and regulatory expectations that continue to inform my controls-based approach.

As a strategic leader, I shaped workforce identity lifecycle and access governance for 25,000+ employee organizations, defined role-based access control aligned to least-privilege and compliance requirements, directed a multi-year enterprise migrations, and drove privileged access management to a cloud-native model. I also served as a subject-matter expert during acquisitions, guiding security strategy, integration, and enterprise direction. I have hired, mentored, and managed technical staff, converting 20% of augmented talent to full-time roles, and I am skilled at building high-performing teams while aligning people strategy with technology goals.

From an architecture perspective, I led single sign-on governance and access certification, engineered dynamic, self-service provisioning for role-based access, and architected guest and non-employee identity lifecycle programs integrated across IT service management platforms. My focus is building identity programs that are secure, reliable, and scalable; balanced against long-term enterprise architecture and strategic risk.

On the technical side, my hands-on expertise spans the core IAM categories recruiters look for: Single Sign-On (SAML, OIDC/OAuth 2.0), Privileged Access Management, and Identity Governance & Administration. I have deep production experience across PingFederate, SailPoint IdentityNow, SecZetta/NERM, CyberArk (on-prem and cloud-native), Entra ID, Active Directory, Okta, and API-based automation.

I build IAM programs that are secure, reliable, and scalable—and I lead the teams and technologies that deliver them. I'd welcome the opportunity to discuss how my strategic leadership in identity, security, and technology can drive value for your organization.
