• Engage CISOs, CIOs, CTOs, and other executives during strategic engagements, client escalations, executive briefings, and consulting sponsorship activities.

• Experience developing workforce plans that balance permanent employees, demand, utilization, specialized skills, and external delivery capacity.
• Experience managing subcontractors or third-party delivery resources while maintaining internal delivery capability as the primary foundation for growth.

• Strong understanding of cybersecurity consulting across GRC, security architecture, offensive security, application security, and cloud security.
• Technical depth sufficient to challenge Principal Consultants on methodologies, technical approaches, service design, delivery quality, and emerging client requirements.
• Ability to translate consulting demand and backlog into FTE hiring, development, subcontractor, and capacity decisions.
• Demonstrated ability to improve utilization and margin without compromising delivery quality or creating unsustainable workloads.
• Experience building repeatable consulting services, including methodology, scope, level-of-effort estimates, costing, staffing models, and delivery standards.
• Ability to identify when consulting services should be expanded, redesigned, standardized, or retired based on performance and market demand.
• Demonstrated success building collaborative teams across distinct technical disciplines and developing managers who can lead experienced practitioners.
