  • Proven success in creating and executing a strategic plan for a major security function with full accountability for organizational design and resource decisions
  • Strong business judgment and an intellectual honesty that connects security metrics to customer retention, margin, and company growth
  • A clear, technical point of view on where automation scales security operations and where human judgment must remain primary
