Senior Account Executive

BRAK Systems (Acquired by AT&T Canada)

I began my cybersecurity journey alongside Robert Herjavec (yes, from Shark Tank) before 'cyber' became a buzzword. We were pioneers in Canada, laying the groundwork for today’s industry. After we were acquired by AT&T/Allstream in 2000, I jumped into NYC's dynamic Wall Street tech scene.

Partner @ Vertex Ventures

Partner at Altitude Cyber | Strategic Advisor to Cybersecurity Founders

With over two decades of experience and a trusted network at the intersection of cybersecurity, strategic growth, M&A, and venture capital, I specialize in helping founders navigate complex challenges and achieve transformational outcomes.

At Altitude Cyber, we partner with high-potential cybersecurity companies to provide tailored guidance on growth strategies and M&A. Our mission is to help cybersecurity leaders forge meaningful relationships, accelerate scaling, and position their companies for enduring success in an ever-evolving industry.

Previously, I was a Partner at Vertex Ventures, where I supported early-stage founders across cybersecurity, AI, infrastructure software, and vertical SaaS. Earlier in my career, I held leadership roles in corporate business development and M&A at global companies like Juniper Networks, Dropbox, Tesla, and Internet Security Systems. I’ve also advised numerous high-growth startups, contributing to successful M&A outcomes, including recent exits to Cisco, Barracuda, and Workday.

As a global citizen with roots in three countries, I bring a unique perspective and deep industry expertise to every partnership. Splitting my time between Santa Monica and San Francisco, I stay inspired by emerging cybersecurity trends, traveling, tinkering with home automation tech, staying active, and engaging with people who challenge and expand my thinking.
