Success story
As VP of Cyber, I inherited a scaling crisis in a high-volume Incident Response practice. I architected an "Industrialized Delivery" strategy, moving from manual triage to an automation-first "Factory Model." This transformation enabled the team to handle 3,000+ annual investigations, protecting over $200M in revenue. Simultaneously, I improved gross margins by 12% and reduced analyst burnout, proving that security operations can scale without linear headcount growth.
