As the Senior Manager of the Cyber Command Center at Asurion, I lead a team responsible for end-to-end Cybersecurity Incident Management across one of the most recognized names in tech protection. My team of intrusion analysts, cybersecurity engineers, and digital forensics specialists operates at the intersection of strategy, technology, and resilience—defending critical services relied upon by millions.With over a decade of experience in IT, cyber security operations and incident response, I’ve built a reputation for driving measurable improvements in detection, response, and threat containment. My responsibilities span real-time threat monitoring (SOC), DFIR, cyber threat intelligence, proactive threat hunting, and cloud security engineering. I also ensure our practices align with regulatory and contractual compliance requirements—converting complexity into streamlined, auditable processes.I bring a hands-on, technically fluent leadership style backed by top-tier industry certifications (GCFA, GCFR, GCIH, GCIA, GPEN, and GICSP). I lead by example in maturing operational workflows, building performance metrics, and aligning tactical response with long-term security strategy. Whether I’m guiding my team through a high-severity incident or refining KPIs to improve throughput and visibility, my focus is consistent: operational excellence that scales.What drives me is not just solving today’s challenges—but preparing teams to face tomorrow’s threats with confidence. I’m committed to fostering a high-performance culture where analysts grow into architects, engineers lead transformation, and security becomes a business enabler. At Asurion, I’m helping to shape a security program that’s agile, transparent, and built to withstand the evolving threat landscape.
