About

Technology/IT leader with experience spanning healthcare software (Medicaid/Medicare) and large-scale media production IT. At O'Neil Digital Solutions, drove a configuration-first standardized platform that cut client onboarding from months to weeks and helped position the org to double its client base. At 20th Century Fox Television, led a major security and cloud-network standardization initiative post-Sony hack, enabling secure worldwide production at scale (~50 productions/year).

  • Led post-Sony-hack security hardening and redesign at 20th Century Fox TV; partnered with corporate teams and external experts
  • Standardized production networking globally via cloud/network-in-the-cloud and software-defined approaches; supported ~50 productions/year plus ~30 pilots
  • Implemented rigorous leader selection using challenge assignments to test performance under ambiguity and time constraints
  • Strong cross-functional alignment and communication practices for distributed teams (checkpoints, standups, frequent touchpoints)
