During my executive technology roles at Smurfit Westrock, Johnson Controls, Hunt Consolidated, and Textron, I have advised corporate boards on cybersecurity and business-aligned IT strategies for digital and technology transformation, acquiring extensive corporate governance, compliance, and enterprise risk management experience. I sit on the board of Transparent Energy, a privately held company. I have also served as customer advisory board member to external technology firms including Salesforce, PlanView, and Infosys, and strategic advisor to TruU, Inc., apiphani, and venture capital groups.

I am a founding board member of T200, a nonprofit of top women enterprise technology executives committed to developing the next generation of women leaders in technology.

I am currently open to board roles. I believe my corporate governance experience is most impactful to the boards of industrial/manufacturing or critical infrastructure enterprises that are undertaking a digital shift or planning to embark in a transformation journey. I also offer deep cybersecurity experience from working in defense and critical infrastructure industries.
