• Collaborate closely with builder and development partners to align roadmaps, capabilities, and experiences that securely enhance builder and developer productivity.

• Demonstrated ability to integrate security controls into development processes and improve developer adoption without creating  friction.
• Proven experience building and advancing cybersecurity risk programs across a global organization. 
• Proven ability to lead cyber security strategy development and implement risk management frameworks such as NIST CSF.
• Strong expertise in identifying, analyzing, and mitigating security threats, vulnerabilities, and risks across complex environments.
