You build and lead a high-performing global cyber defense organization across employees, contractors, and strategic service providers.
You build and mature a threat-informed detection engineering lifecycle that converts adversary behaviors into measurable detection and prevention coverage.
You lead the cyber response to emerging and non-traditional risk scenarios and other evolving threats requiring cross-functional investigation, containment, and risk mitigation.
You lead the agentic SOC and security automation strategy, using AI-assisted triage and investigation, and human-in-the-loop controls to improve response speed, consistency, and decision quality.
You establish proactive threat hunting and adversary-validation capabilities, using threat intelligence, red and purple team activities, penetration-test findings, and technical simulations.
You own the cyber readiness program, including tabletop exercises, technical response simulations, playbook validation, escalation testing, and readiness assessments.
You provide oversight and incident command for high-severity cyber incidents, coordinating response across Security, IT, Privacy, Legal, business teams, and external partners, and ensuring lessons learned are translated into improved detections, automation, controls, and response practices.
You set the strategy, architecture, integration, and optimization priorities for cyber defense platforms and telemetry, including SIEM, SOAR and case management, endpoint and network detection, email threat defense, and cloud security signals.
You define and report cyber defense KPIs and KRIs that measure detection coverage and efficacy, response performance, false-positive reduction, automation and AI-agent performance, readiness, and risk reduction.
