Career Milestones & Transformative Impact

Zeron Cybersecurity Transformation

As mentor and strategic advisor, guided Zeron from startup inception to $5M valuation. Orchestrated four distinct Go-To-Market strategies across multiple geographies, culminating in a transformative global partnership with Coforge that redefined their market presence.

02

IntellyQ Security Exit

Founded and successfully exited my first cybersecurity venture, IntellyQ Security, through strategic IP acquisition. This early success established the foundation for my current intelligence-driven security philosophy and approach to embedded organizational security.

03

Enterprise Security Leadership

Spearheaded critical cybersecurity initiatives across industry giants including Oracle, PwC, and SHELL. Led enterprise-scale security transformations, establishing frameworks and methodologies that became industry standards for large-scale security implementations.

Innovation Pioneer & Technical Foundation

Mobile Security Program Genesis

In 2012, pioneered the mobile security program for DXC architecture before OWASP Mobile Top 10 existed. My foundational work was so influential that OWASP still references methodologies I developed in their current mobile security standards. This early recognition of mobile threat vectors positioned organizations years ahead of emerging security challenges.

Career Foundation

Technical journey began with a strategic internship at Cisco's San Jose headquarters, where I gained deep insights into network security architecture and enterprise-grade security solutions. This experience shaped my understanding of scalable security infrastructure.
