Let’s Talk About What Actually Matters

I speak on stages because I believe the security industry needs more honest voices and fewer vendor pitches. My talks are grounded in what I’ve actually built, led, and learned — as a Global CISO, a Marine, and someone who’s been in the room when it matters.

I welcome invitations for keynotes, conference panels, corporate events, webinars, and podcast appearances.

Topics I speak on:

• Breaking into and advancing in cybersecurity — without losing yourself in the process

• Security leadership for the C-suite and board: what they need to hear, not what they want to

• Being LGBTQIA+ in technology leadership

• Building a cybersecurity program from the ground up

• Governance, Risk, and Compliance — done right

• AI, threat acceleration, and what ‘defending at machine speed’ actually requires

• Diversity, equity, and closing the cyber talent gap

I welcome invites for panel participation, webinars, podcasts, and speaking engagements.

Base rate: $300/hour plus travel and lodging. Rate varies by organization type, audience, and engagement scope — let’s talk

If you’re looking for a speaker who will hold the room and say something worth remembering, I’m available.
