I bring over twelve years of experience leading global digital transformation and innovation, where I’ve built automation, machine learning, IoT, and digital twin platforms. My career has taken me through both start-ups and large organizations, giving me the ability to dive deep into technical details while making sound strategic decisions and committing to the highest standards. I’ve had the privilege of speaking at numerous global forums, where I’ve shared insights on technology and digital breakthroughs while refining my ability to connect with diverse audiences.

Leading and mentoring teams is one of my greatest passions. I’ve guided seven junior product managers and analysts, focusing on their growth while driving innovation forward. I also work closely with executive committees and senior stakeholders, bridging the gap between strategic vision and the challenges engineers face during execution. My passion lies in entrepreneurship, start-ups, robotics, company culture, economic development, and above all, IoT: where I see endless opportunities to shape the future of connected systems.

Startup board advisor and fractional product/security leader enabling AI & cybersecurity startups to innovate confidently, scale securely, and grow with clarity. I blend deep cybersecurity expertise, product management leadership, and emerging-tech insight to help founders reduce avoidable risk, accelerate time-to-market, and build high-trust, high-impact companies. I help founders, boards, and executive teams turn emerging tech into secure, scalable, customer-ready products. My career sits at the intersection of INNOVATION, CYBERSECURITY, and GROWTH - three pillars that shape how modern AI and cybersecurity startups compete and win. Across 30+ years in cybersecurity and emerging tech, I’ve launched over 50 global products, guided dozens of innovation initiatives, and supported hypergrowth environments from early-stage startups to major enterprises. My background spans product management, technical product marketing, IT/operations leadership, cybersecurity research, and board advisory work.

INNOVATION

I’ve led teams advancing next-generation cybersecurity capabilities, including AI-driven analysis tools, post-quantum cryptography risk modeling, and new patented security architectures. While running the Cybersecurity Innovation Accelerator team at Wells Fargo, I drove IP portfolio-expanding invention activity, built AI-powered market-intelligence systems, and partnered with startups, investment groups, and R&D leaders to evaluate emerging tech opportunities. I thrive in ambiguity - turning early market signals into strategy, architecture, and product direction.

CYBERSECURITY

As a CISSP and Fractional CISO, I help startups reduce risk before it becomes technical debt. My experience ranges from designing secure architectures and leading security services for global enterprises, to hands-on assessments, red-team work, and secure-product design. I bridge engineering, product, and business teams - aligning security requirements with customer expectations and go-to-market realities.

GROWTH

I’ve scaled product portfolios, doubled customer adoption in critical markets, and guided organizations through M&A, new market creation, and high-velocity operational scaling. My board and advisory work centers on strengthening strategy, sharpening positioning, and ensuring founders make deliberate, informed decisions that improve valuation and investment readiness. Whether advising a board, acting as a fractional CPO, or serving as a CISO for an AI-driven startup, I help organizations innovate confidently, secure intelligently, and grow intentionally.

I have worked on an amazing and fun array of topics over the years. Deep expertise in data science, AI, ML and big graphs applied to multiple domains: IoT, Eldercare, Watson Health and Watson Financial Services (NLP). Consultant to national and international clients. All had deep technical elements and most involved business elements working with senior executives. Recognized dynamic speaker with clients at conferences and classes.

I am a member of IBM's Academy of Technology (800 of IBM's top technical talent) and an IBM Master Inventor with 47 issued patents.

I have recently earned a PhD in computer science, with research focused on the AI of multi-agent systems and a formal logic of "commitments". This kind of research has tremendous potential in our increasingly interconnected world.

I am an author of multiple published books and refereed academic papers.

I am also a prolific programmer. Current favorite technologies are Java, Python, Jupyter, Spark, TensorFlow, Groovy, Gremlin, Gradle and TDA (topological data analysis).

I blog about these topics at knowledgereactor.ai/blog.
