Director, Strategy & Operations | Corporate Strategy & AI Transformation | Cybersecurity, AI Infrastructure & Enterprise Software | Ex-CyberArk (acq. by Palo Alto Networks), Bain, J.P. Morgan | MIT Sloan MBA
Most recently, I was the first Strategy & Operations hire at CyberArk, reporting to the Chief Strategy Officer.Highlights: Led CyberArk's platform transformation as AI reshaped the identity security market, consolidating five product silos into a unified Identity Security Platform ($1B+ ARR). Then led strategic integration into Palo Alto Networks following our ~$25B acquisition, on an accelerated ~9-month vision-to-launch timeline. Also co-led a McKinsey-partnered enterprise AI transformation, delivering an executive-approved plan to hold workforce flat through AI-driven productivity gains — avoiding ~4,000 net-new hires across Engineering, Product, and GTM.Background: Bain (including Private Equity Group), J.P. Morgan (IB, top 1% of analyst class), MIT Sloan MBA (2019). Focus areas: Strategy & Operations · BizOps · Corporate Strategy · AI Transformation · Platform Strategy · Cybersecurity · Enterprise SaaS
