Session: Channeling Passion to Drive Success
I'm an engineering people leader who likes to grow individuals while also growing our team. I believe that every person within an organization can make an impact, no matter the size of the contribution or the size of the company. I love empowering my team to build and be a part of growing our company, giving them visibility to higher parts of the organization.
Bio
I graduated from Virginia Tech with an Industrial and Systems Engineering degree and began my career as a systems engineer in a brand new industry later to be called "cybersecurity". Working with Federal Government and Fortune 500 customers, throughout the years, my roles and title changed to security engineer, solution architect, sales engineering while the job remained the same. My goal was to build cybersecurity solutions for customers and help them keep the bad guys OUT. Over the years I was promoted to a team lead, manager, directer and eventually VP, leading a team of engineers to grow our business day by day.
