vCISO / Fractional CISO Services

Executive security leadership tailored to your needs. Get the strategic guidance of a seasoned CISO without the full-time commitment, bringing enterprise-level expertise from leading cryptocurrency exchanges and AI startups to your organization.

Your Strategic Security Partner

As your vCISO, I don't just advise—I become an integral part of your leadership team, understanding your business objectives, culture, and challenges to deliver security strategies that enable growth.

🤝

True Partnership

Drawing from my experience as CSO at Bullish and CIO roles, I understand the balance between security needs and business operations. I work alongside your team, not above them, ensuring security enables rather than restricts.

🎯

Tailored Strategy

Every organization is unique. I take time to understand your industry, regulatory landscape, technology stack, and business goals before crafting security strategies that fit your specific context and maturity level.

💡

Pragmatic Solutions

With experience securing $6B+ in digital assets and managing security for 2,000+ AI experiments, I bring practical, tested approaches that deliver real results without unnecessary complexity.

📊

Measurable Impact

Success is measured in business outcomes, not just compliance checkboxes. I help establish KPIs that matter to your board and demonstrate how security investments drive value.

Guiding Principles in Practice

How our core values translate into vCISO engagement success

🔒

Secure by Default

I design security programs that integrate seamlessly into your workflows. Instead of creating friction, we build security that feels natural and supports your team's productivity.

🌉

Bridge the Gap

With backgrounds in software development, IT operations, and security, I speak all three languages fluently. This helps me build consensus and drive security initiatives that technical teams actually embrace.

✅

Strive for "Yes"

Security should enable business, not block it. I work to find creative solutions that meet security requirements while supporting your business objectives and innovation goals.

Build Trust through Collaboration

Trust is earned through consistent delivery and transparent communication. I integrate with your team, share knowledge openly, and ensure everyone understands the "why" behind security decisions.
