For two decades, I've taken on the same challenge in progressively higher-stakes environments: how do you move a business faster while making resilience a condition for speed? I lead at the intersection of technology, security, and AI. As both CIO and CISO, I build the IT and AI backbone that enables a company to accelerate, and the security organization that allows it to do so safely. My career has spanned national defense, global banking, enterprise software, and digital-asset infrastructure: environments where the cost of getting it wrong is measured in national security, billions in enterprise value, regulatory trust, and assets that must never move without permission. Most recently, as CIO & CISO at Fireblocks, I built and scaled the global cybersecurity and enterprise technology organizations as the platform surpassed $14 trillion in transactions and served thousands of institutions. I turned compliance into a customer-facing revenue enabler and established a global 24/7 SOC designed to defend against threats ranging from sophisticated cybercrime to nation-state actors. I also applied AI and machine learning to improve detection, investigation, and response. I served on the board of Fireblocks Trust Company and worked directly with boards, regulators and executive teams through complex cyber incidents and high-stakes operational-risk decisions. On the technology side, I led enterprise IT, business systems, and Salesforce through approximately eightfold company growth, while building an internal AI team that put AI to work across the organization. Earlier, at ClickSoftware, I led the security workstream for Salesforce's approximately $1.4 billion acquisition of the company and subsequently led the security integration into Salesforce. I also served as Global CISO of Bank Hapoalim, Israel's largest bank, and built the cyber defense program for Israel's largest aerospace company. I have worked at the intersection of ML/AI and security since my aerospace years, when I established a machine-learning lab for threat detection well before it became standard practice.
