• Translate Cybersecurity strategy into quarterly priorities, staffing plans, resource allocation decisions, and clear execution goals for the team.
• Partner with engineering and platform teams to turn offensive security findings into remediation actions, prevention improvements, and stronger secure-by-design practices.
• Establish scalable testing approaches for web, API, cloud, identity, container, and software delivery environments, balancing depth, speed, and business risk.
• Drive stakeholder communication, cross-functional alignment, and change leadership, including escalation of significant risks and recommendations for action.
