Expert: Cyber Governance, AI Risk & M&A Security

Specialties & Experience of this Expert Witness

Additional Information

PROFESSIONAL BIOGRAPHY I am a senior Cybersecurity and Project Management Consultant with 5 years of intensive, high-stakes experience securing, auditing, and remediating environments for Fortune 500 enterprises. My practice bridges the gap between complex technical infrastructure and corporate boardroom strategy, delivering evidence-based insights for legal counsel in litigation, due diligence, and regulatory proceedings. EXPERTISE & CORE COMPETENCIES My practice focuses on the technical "Standard of Care" in three critical areas: Cybersecurity Governance & Remediation: Extensive experience in large-scale cyberdefense and remediation for global organizations like United Airlines. I evaluate the effectiveness of security controls and pen-testing programs against industry benchmarks to identify gaps and failures. AI Governance & Cloud Security: Specialized experience in the architecture of AI-driven ecosystems and cloud-based infrastructures. I provide authoritative analysis on AI risk, data privacy, and the regulatory challenges inherent in modern cloud adoption. M&A Security & Technical Due Diligence: A proven track record in high-stakes M&A security integration, including the AbbVie/Allergan and Sony/Peanuts transactions. I assess the technical risks of post-merger integration, identifying latent vulnerabilities that often escape standard due diligence. PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND & APPROACH Operating at the intersection of technical execution and executive strategy, I specialize in translating complex security failures into clear, compelling narratives. Whether evaluating a post-merger tech stack or auditing AI governance pilots at firms like USAA, my approach remains rooted in objective analysis. I am highly adept at assisting attorneys in establishing or defending claims of negligence, breach of duty, and contractual non-compliance. SERVICES Available for case evaluation, forensic analysis, deposition, and courtroom testimony regarding cybersecurity negligence, technical due diligence, and enterprise-scale data security.
