Regulatory Compliance
  • Compliance Frameworks: Ensure technology, application, and security environments support compliance with NYDFS 23 NYCRR 500, PCI DSS, GLBA, and emerging insurance-specific AI laws.
  • Executive Communication: Translate complex technical strategies, software release metrics, and risk postures into clear briefings for non-technical executives and the Board of Directors

Team Leadership:
  • Talent Development: Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performance, cross-functional team of engineers, architects, developers, and security professionals.
