+ Lead incident response and breach management end to end: preparation, detection, containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident review, including executive and regulatory communication.

+ Establish the security awareness and anti-phishing program, driving a security-conscious culture across a rapidly scaling, multi-site workforce.
+ Partner with Software, Networking, Data Engineering, Business Intelligence and Applied AI leaders to secure the technology lifecycle, production platforms, and enterprise data without slowing delivery.
+ Recruit, mentor, and grow the internal security team, building the cyber security internal capacity.
