Being a cybersecurity professional, I have worked across network security, SOC operations, incident response, identity and access management, and enterprise security technology leadership, I bring a strong mix of strategic leadership and hands-on execution.

In my current role as Team Lead – IT Security at Medline Industries, I lead global security initiatives covering EDR/XDR, SIEM & UEBA, IAM/PAM, SSO/MFA, Email Security, DLP, Threat Intelligence, and Vulnerability Management. My focus has been on turning security platforms into measurable risk reduction and operational outcomes. I have built centralized security logging and monitoring capabilities, strengthened incident response programs for advanced threats, and improved leadership visibility through security posture dashboards and executive reporting.

Previously, while leading SIEM implementation initiatives, I helped improve threat detection efficiency by 30% and reduced false positives by 15%, enabling SOC teams to respond faster with higher confidence. Across roles, I have driven platform hardening, vulnerability remediation, firewall governance, and secure VPN implementations, strengthening enterprise security posture and compliance readiness.

Beyond technology, I am passionate about building strong teams and security culture. I have mentored and developed high-performing SOC and security engineering teams, partnered with stakeholders across IT and business functions, and delivered security awareness programs to reduce phishing and social engineering risk. I also lead proof-of-concepts and vendor evaluations to modernize security tooling while optimizing cost and operational efficiency.

I am excited about the opportunity to bring this experience to your clients—strengthening security operations, improving incident response maturity, and helping their leadership make informed, risk-based decisions.
