My journey began in the Navy, where I found purpose in protecting what mattered most. It wasn’t just about defending our country or navigating the open seas—it was where I first discovered a passion for technology and security. Those early days taught me that strong leadership and smart solutions can make all the difference, whether you’re at sea or behind a computer screen.
That passion has driven every chapter of my career—from co-founding Sucuri Security to safeguard millions of websites, to scaling security products at GoDaddy, to growing Armeda and helping startups find their footing. It’s always been about making an impact, simplifying the complex, and helping others succeed.
Now, it’s time to get underway again.
I’m excited to share that I’ll be joining DigitalOcean to drive the vision, growth, and success of their security products portfolio. Reporting to the CISO, this is an incredible opportunity to lead efforts that empower developers, protect businesses, and continue the mission I started years ago.
