Tektronix Leadership

As a tech-forward founder, technologist, and life-long learner, I have dedicated my career to transforming, building, and delivering. I am passionate about computer science, cybersecurity, software, cloud-scale, automation, data, economics, and the human brain. My undergraduate degree is in computer science, and I also earned a graduate degree in information security, where my research focused on identity in trustless environments and cryptography. I hold active certifications in security, cloud architecture, operations, and scale.I am actively involved in my community, both through teaching and with the Nashville AWS User Group, which I established and lead. I have served as a professor of computer science at Lipscomb University, helped advise and design graduate courses on security and undergraduate courses in computer science and information technology, and mentored students both at university and code schools.After Tektronix acquired Initial State, a company I founded, they asked me to serve as their CIO. I am currently using my cybersecurity expertise and leadership skills at Tetronix to transform enterprise technology with a focus on customer innovation and the cloud.A serial entrepreneur, I have founded two venture-backed companies and two founder-funded companies. I have also consulted, advised, or served as a board member for nearly a dozen venture-backed tech startups, leveraging my expertise in leadership, technology and service monetization strategy, software and development operations, product strategy, technology-enabled value delivery models (like SaaS), cybersecurity, analytics and blockchain across the health care, IoT, mobile, financial, and entertainment industries.
