I believe identity is the front door to the modern enterprise. Every employee, customer, partner, and increasingly every AI system enters through it. When identity is weak, trust erodes. When identity is strong, organizations move faster, operate with confidence, and scale securely.

​

Too many organizations still treat Identity and Access Management as a back-office IT function. I see it differently. Done well, IAM protects customer trust, strengthens security posture, and enables major technology and digital initiatives instead of slowing them down. It becomes a force multiplier, not a constraint.
 

My work focuses on helping leaders treat identity as a leadership responsibility, not just a technical project. I’ve advised and led IAM programs across large, complex enterprises in healthcare, utilities, and financial services, including executive-level consulting roles. Over time, a clear pattern emerges. The hardest problems are rarely about tools. They are about ownership, clarity, alignment, and accountability.

​

That insight sits at the center of my work, including the IAM Value Engine™ and my book, The 7 Pillars of IAM Success. Both are built around a simple idea: IAM must be run like a business function, with clear outcomes, measurable value, and leadership ownership.

​

If you are responsible for security, technology, or protecting customer trust, identity already affects your success, whether it has your attention or not. I write and share practical insights to help leaders think more clearly about IAM and make better decisions in complex environments.
