I started my carrier in and IT security while serving in the army where I was a successful army officer for 9 years. My role was to oversee secure data transmission between systems and ensuring secure communications for foreign deployments which was a highly critical and secure application. During that time I gained a degree in communications engineering and a degree in Information Technology.

After serving in the military I joined Electronic Data Systems where I held the position as a Project and Program Manager, Manager Network and Security, Technical Transformation Manager. Later on advanced to a Cloud architect and Cloud Security Architect, as well as Incident Manager for global highly critical incidents.

Technology leads to Innovation and I enjoyed innovating processes and technology. As an innovator, I have filed patents for EDS and Hewlett Packard, have been given the title “IT Hero” several times and have received awards as for example an “High Impact Award” after migrating business critical operations without any impact.

Reviewing my work experience gathered during decades I see the need to bridge the gap between management expectation and IT Delivery – the reality . In every project I have been in was a need to transform management plans into workable IT operations pieces. Service providers as well as consulting firms are still struggling to bridge this gap in such a way that management and IT staff is equally striving towards one goal- to the satisfy the customer.

That being said I saw the potential and founded e2 Security in 2017 with the goal to offer knowledge and expertise in the field of IT security to large and mid-sized companies.
