About
I'm the founder of Cloudsec.ai where we help software-first organizations ensure their security and AI programs are aligned with business goals. I've been working in the security space for over 20 years spanning startups and the Fortune 50 in engineering, architect and leadership roles. As the CISO at Tradeshift, a hypergrowth unicorn B2B SaaS fintech, I secured over a trillion dollars in global trade for F500 companies on a platform that included virtual credit cards and a supply chain financing program with the largest trade bank in the world. In addition to security programs I've led Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), Devops/Platform Engineering, IT, Platform Applications and CI/CD teams. This provided an extremely broad perspective into what goes into rapidly and consistently delivering high quality, cloud hosted business software. At Cloudsec, we use that insight to deliver high performing security programs that align with your company's business goals.
