With over 20 years of executive experience in public companies, I specialize in integrating strategy, cybersecurity, and digital technology to enhance business outcomes. As Group CIO of Kip McGrath, I manage IT operations, product development, and digital transformation initiatives, facilitating over two million tutoring sessions yearly. At Tutorfly, as a board member, I provide strategic direction for a platform enhancing educational access across the U.S.

My leadership approach emphasizes innovation, efficiency, and team empowerment. I advocate for technology-business integration, using digital advancements to drive operational excellence and competitive differentiation. My financial acumen is demonstrated through effective budget management, ROI from technology investments, and strategic financial planning.

I have a track record of fostering strategic partnerships, managing stakeholder relationships, and aligning IT strategies with business goals. My experience spans leading transformative projects, adopting AI and ML to streamline operations, and navigating organizations through economic and cybersecurity challenges.

Recognized in the industry, I am committed to continuous learning and actively contribute to professional dialogues on technology's role in business.

  • CISSP Simplified Study Guide

    -

    I am in the process of writing a simplified study guide for the CISSP. Having spent many months studying and researching, I believe there is a better way of learning the concepts. The strength in security is knowledge and empowering people. I want the knowledge to be as accessible as possible to as many people as possible regardless of whether they will pursue the certification.
