About Powers Dan

Senior Engineering & Security Leader | AWS, Azure, CISSP | Enabling Secure, Agile Enterprise Platforms CISSP-certified cybersecurity and operations leader with 25+ years of experience delivering secure, scalable IT infrastructure—from military communications to enterprise hybrid cloud platforms. At Boston Consulting Group, I drive the security and operational resilience of global platforms supporting laptops and servers worldwide. I lead secure device strategy and partner closely with SOC, ISRM, and CSIRT teams to embed compliance frameworks (NIST, CIS) into infrastructure delivery, ensuring both security and business agility. I also bring extensive expertise in platform engineering and global IT operations—leading distributed teams to build scalable, automated cloud environments on AWS and Azure. My approach is product-minded, blending SRE, DevOps, and infrastructure management to enable rapid innovation without sacrificing operational maturity. Known as a pragmatic leader who bridges security, engineering, and business priorities, I bring clarity, consistency, and yes, a bit of humor to high-stakes environments. I work hard, lead from the front, and understand when to keep things light — and when to lock in.
