The Journey to Cybersecurity Excellence

I've spent 26 years watching executives struggle with the same cybersecurity problems: security teams that block business initiatives, compliance requirements that slow innovation, and security investments that don't deliver measurable value.I've seen too many companies choose between security and business growth—and lose either way.

At NielsenIQ, I scaled a global security program managing $19M and 36 people across five countries—while reducing cyber insurance premiums by 50% and saving $1.3M in contracts.At TransUnion, I salvaged a stalled DevSecOps transformation and prevented 27% of cybersecurity staff from leaving. At Equifax, I helped rebuild trust after a major breach, contributing to a $45 per share stock recovery and 142% customer growth.

I've sat in the C-suite chair where every decision impacts millions in revenue. I've rebuilt failing security teams and turned them into business enablers. I've navigated post-breach crises where the company's survival was at stake. I know what it's like when the board demands both bulletproof security and aggressive growth targets.That's the moment where most security leaders fail—and where I've consistently delivered.

Today, through Sean As A Service, I bring this proven executive track record directly to companies that need security that drives business value, not blocks it. If you're an executive struggling with security that's holding back your business, I can help you build what I've built before: security programs that enable growth, reduce costs, and deliver measurable ROI.The companies I work with get faster time-to-market, reduced compliance costs, and security teams that are business enablers, not business blockers.
