About

I'm an accomplished cybersecurity and IT leader with over 15 years of experience building, leading, and scaling security and IT operations teams across global organizations, including Dutchie, Sony PlayStation, PayPal, and United Wheels. My expertise spans security strategy, compliance (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, HITRUST), cloud migrations, disaster recovery, and team building.

I’ve led successful security programs from scratch and driven multi-million dollar transformations in complex, regulated environments. I’m passionate about mentoring the next generation of cybersecurity professionals — whether they’re transitioning from IT, preparing for certifications, or stepping into leadership roles. I aim to make security approachable, practical, and aligned with business needs.

Let’s work together to grow your confidence, your career path, and your technical and leadership capabilities in the cybersecurity field.

Topics I Can Help With:

Breaking into cybersecurity
Moving from IT to security
Building a SOC or security program
Preparing for leadership roles (Director, CISO)
Cloud security strategy (AWS)
Audit readiness & compliance (SOC2, HIPAA, PCI)

What happens when you start

You tell Thomas your goals. They see exactly what you want to work on before session one.

You meet within days. Thomas reviews your application and books your first session, usually within a day or two.

You leave with a plan. Concrete next steps and a weekly rhythm from your very first week.
