Passionate about improving cybersecurity (even before it was called that!) for utilities and finding ways to make it happen when time and money are major driving factors. Experience all the way up and down the path of IT and OT – from being the only one that can, to leading a team and showing how it can be done. Deeply technical but also able to communicate at all levels within multiple organizations to help drive the message of the importance of cybersecurity in our industry.
Proud member of multiple organizations, including Cooperative Utilities, Public Power representation, Cyber Mutual Assistance, NERC & regional leadership groups and community groups that drive inclusion and diversity in the cybersecurity space. Thought leader in new ways of using technology to solve problems, then finding mechanisms to make it happen through public/private partnerships. Leads by example with a proven track record of success and influence across the industry.
