15+ years of progressive leadership

Senior technical authority for enterprise infrastructure across servers, virtualization, networking, security, and cloud. Leading modernization planning and driving operational resilience across the organization.

• Primary owner of infrastructure lifecycle management and standards
• Cybersecurity initiatives: vulnerability management, EDR/MDR platforms
• Root cause analysis and corrective action for production incidents
• Vendor management and technical mentorship

Led global network operations across 200+ sites, 55+ engineers, and a $25.5M budget. This was the role that shaped my executive perspective — where reliability, risk, and ROI became the language of infrastructure leadership.

• 200+ site global footprint across Americas, EMEA & APAC at 99.99% uptime
• Ansible/Python automation reduced MTTR 25% and eliminated configuration drift
• $25.5M budget — forecasting, cross-charging, vendor negotiations
• PCI DSS and ISO audit leadership — evidence, remediation, stakeholder communication

A progression through increasing responsibility: Manager of Global Network Operations, Lead Network Engineer, Principal Network Engineer, Senior Network Engineer. Each role deepened both technical depth and operational leadership.

• Enterprise LAN/WAN, WLAN, data center, and cloud-integrated network design
• Moved from individual contributor to team lead to department head
• Built the operational foundation that would later scale to 200+ sites

Where the fundamentals were built — accountability, documentation, readiness, and execution under pressure in high-stakes environments. Military communications experience created a discipline that carried through every subsequent role.

• Managed mission-critical communications systems in operational environments
• Built habits of precision documentation and redundancy planning
• Led soldiers — translating orders into execution with no margin for ambiguity
