My primary responsibility is to ensure the safety and security of the Cleveland Clinic’s information and systems from various cyber threats and events that disrupt care delivery. With a strong background in cybersecurity and a passion for staying up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies, I lead the development and implementation of a robust cybersecurity strategy, operational platforms, and delivery of cybersecurity services to clinical and business stakeholders. My team and I work tirelessly to prevent security breaches and keep the organization compliant with various industry, government, and accreditation requirements on cybersecurity, risk management, privacy, and safety. In addition to my technical knowledge, I have a talent for managing and motivating a team of cybersecurity professionals.

I work closely with stakeholders across the organization, including the CISO, CTO, and health systems clinical and business leadership team members, to raise awareness of cybersecurity best practices and educate staff on protecting sensitive information.
