Dan brings over 20 years of IT experience and a decade of global
cyber leadership to his role as Fractional CISO, specializing in helping
organizations build risk-based, resilient cybersecurity programs that earn
C-suite and board support. He combines risk management leadership with his deep
cyber expertise to enable organizations to pursue growth while managing
operational risk.
His career spans heavily regulated industries, from hedge
funds and manufacturing-biopharma to hospitality, insurance, and fintech,
giving him a pragmatic perspective on building global cyber programs that
balance security rigor with business enablement.
Working with Dan means gaining a trusted advisor who sits
alongside leadership, not above it. He focuses on building programs that fit
the organization's risk appetite and maturity level, avoiding both
over-engineering and unnecessary exposure. Clients describe his style as
collaborative, transparent, and focused on sustainable progress rather than
compliance theater.
Dan actively shapes the cybersecurity profession as co-chair
of RSAC's Cyber Leader Forum (programming for mid-market CISOs) and SIM's
DigiRisk special interest group (helping IT leaders navigate emerging risks).
He is also a member of the UK Cyber Security Council’s Technical Working Group,
helping draft and review industry standards for cyber security careers.
He holds a Chief Risk Officer Executive Education
Certificate from Carnegie Mellon's Heinz College, maintains CISSP and CDPSE
certifications, and earned his B.E. in Computer Engineering from Stony Brook
University.
