Practical Leadership in IT Management – Insights from the Trenches

I am an IT professional with a strategic approach to problem-solving and a hands-on leadership style that emphasizes ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement.

My two decades of experience in IT include managing complex data center infrastructure architecture for clients such as Fortune 500 companies, the United Nations, Deloitte, KPMG, EY, and leading law firms. I have managed systems globally, including complex IT systems in Brazil, Germany, Iraq, the United States, Switzerland, Spain, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and Saudi Arabia.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked to align IT strategies with business objectives to support organizational growth and efficiency. I’ve managed global infrastructures, led incident response teams, and strengthened cybersecurity frameworks across various industries, delivering scalable and efficient solutions, and developed IT programs that deliver security operations, policies, procedures, compliance controls, security architecture, and risk management.

In my current role, I lead a team responsible for supporting, architecting, deploying, and managing complex global eDiscovery environments across multiple data centers. I focus on designing, implementing, and continuously improving stable, redundant systems, ensuring projects are delivered on time and meet quality standards.

My expertise includes critical infrastructure protection, homeland security, cryptanalysis, artificial intelligence, and incident response.
