- Track record of partnering across product, platform, and business functions to drive company-wide security outcomes
- Proven ability to deliver holistic, scalable prevention across security domains (platform/cloud, applications, CI/CD, identity and endpoints), favoring paved roads and default guardrails over one-off fixes
