About

I am a Director of Software Engineering with 20+ years of global experience leading large-scale Cybersecurity, Identity & Access Management (IAM), and Risk Reduction programs within complex enterprise environments.At Fidelity Investments, I drive multi‑year cybersecurity and IAM transformation initiatives aligned to business objectives, regulatory obligations, and Zero Trust architecture. I lead global, cross‑functional teams across engineering, architecture, SRE, and security to deliver platforms that reduce risk while enabling developer velocity.My expertise spans end-to-end identity lifecycle (JML), RBAC, access governance, PAM, SSO/MFA, cloud security (AWS/Azure), DevSecOps, cryptography, and secure API design. I have built and operated IAM platforms using SailPoint, Entra/Azure AD, and modern OAuth2/OIDC-based architectures, integrating security directly into SDLC and CI/CD pipelines.I am deeply experienced in audit readiness and regulatory compliance, including SOX, PCI-DSS, SOC2, NIST, and ISO frameworks, with a strong focus on automation-first controls, continuous monitoring, and evidence generation.Beyond technology, I am passionate about people leadership—building strong engineering leaders, mentoring architects, and creating high-performing teams that deliver measurable outcomes. I regularly partner with CISO, CIO, and executive stakeholders to translate complex risk into clear, actionable decisions.Core focus areas: Identity & Access Management, Zero Trust, Cyber Engineering, Risk & Compliance, Secure SDLC, Cloud Security, and Engineering Leadership.
