I%27m a security leader who%27s been on the buying side for 30 years. I spent two decades at The Economist Group, ending as CISO, and today I run information security and infrastructure at Intersection, the advertising and media company behind LinkNYC and nationwide ad networks. I%27ve also served on the board of MediaISAO, the news industry%27s information-sharing organization. I%27m useful to companies in two ways. First, I%27m the person your product has to get past: I%27ve bought in this category and dropped vendors in it, so I can tell you how a security buyer will really judge you. Second, I know who to put you in front of in security, media, and regulated enterprise. Think of me as the friendly gatekeeper who%27ll tell you why the door%27s locked, then hand you the right key. I also lead AI adoption and governance at Intersection, so I can help you sell AI into cautious buyers. I give 2–4 hours a month, and I%27d rather make one real introduction than take ten meetings.
