I started my first business right out of college called "Professional Classes" and taught aspiring professionals. Then, I moved on to help a 72-employee company "Lordmart Technologies" to become a 1400 employee corporation. As a founder of e-InnoSec, a Consulting & Advisory firm, and Securetain, an eLearning corporation, I help organizations to meet their compliance and cybersecurity goals.
As a Governance, Risk, Compliance (GRC), and Cybersecurity professional, I am passionate about solving problems. My background is techno-functional and can easily map business problems to technology and visa-versa to simplify them and develop scalable solutions.
I have advised and consulted small and medium-sized organizations as well as Fortune 100 companies.
I am presently serving as a Board Member for the ISACA and ISC2 Austin Chapters and was previously the President of ISACA in 2018/2019 and the Vice President in 2006. Additionally, I have volunteered for teaching for more than 10 years through ISACA and have conducted projects with the University of Texas.
