Technology executive with 25+ years of experience leading AI-enabled, secure, and resilient digital transformation across enterprise IT, cloud platforms, and digital-physical critical infrastructure. Proven ability to align innovation with governance, risk, and operational continuity in highly regulated and high-impact environments.

Troy’s career reflects a full-spectrum technology leadership journey, progressing from hands-on engineering, architecture, and cyber forensics roles to senior executive positions including Board Member, Director, Vice President, and 4 times as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). This end-to-end perspective enables him to translate complex technical realities into executive-level strategy, board-ready risk decisions, and measurable business outcomes.

Committed to empowering others and giving back to the profession, Troy volunteered for several years with internationally recognized experts to author, review, and refine global certification exam content for ISACA’s Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) and Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) programs.
