As Chief Information Security Officer of one of the largest healthcare delivery systems in the world, I lead the strategic cybersecurity efforts for Alberta Health Services (AHS)—an organization that manages one of the largest and geographically expansive IT environments in Canada. Responsible for safeguarding our sensitive information and critical systems across 106 hospitals, I drive initiatives that balance innovation, compliance, and resilience in the face of evolving cyber threats - all while ensuring the continuity of delivery of clinical care to the Albertans we serve millions of times a year.

With a diverse and global career spanning leadership in technology, cybersecurity, and privacy, I am passionate about building and leading strong, collaborative teams capable of addressing the unique challenges of securing modern digital environments. My work also extends to engaging with global thought leaders, contributing to industry publications such as CSO, Dark Reading, and Forbes, and presenting at premier conferences, including Gartner, Forrester, and DEFCON.

An advocate for mentorship and junior talent development, I dedicate time to supporting the next generation of cybersecurity professionals, particularly those entering the field or exploring its complexities. Whether connecting with peers, guiding students, or collaborating with industry leaders, I remain committed to fostering a safer digital ecosystem for healthcare and beyond.
