I work on security, standards, technical risk, and frontier AI safety. I like to pragmatically solve meaningful problems.
I lead Google’s US Standards Development & GRC Intelligence program, covering AI, quantum, cybersecurity, cloud, and privacy. I work with engineering and product teams to shape emerging standards and turn complex requirements into practical technical approaches.
I’ve built and led security and GRC programs and international teams across hypergrowth and hyperscale environments: taking Postman’s GRC function from 0 to 1, and programs at Google from 1 to scale across global infrastructure. That experience grounds my work with NIST and INCITS/ISO/IEC in the practical realities of execution—turning principles and requirements into systems engineers can implement, evaluate, and improve.
Here you’ll find my work, writing, conversations, and personal projects. If something sparks your interest, reach out on LinkedIn ↗.
