Mike is a results‑driven leader with over 15 years in the DoD, Defense Industrial Base, and emerging tech. As Chief Security Officer, he shapes enterprise security strategy, integrating personnel, physical, information, and industrial security with insider‑threat programs to protect mission‑critical technologies for DoD and Intelligence Community partners. He treats security as a competitive advantage, ensuring compliance and accelerating contract wins. In his first year at CV, he modernized the security program and cleared five regulatory inspections across four agencies.

Before joining CV, Mike served as a U.S. Navy Chief and held senior director roles supporting national and global security programs. He positions organizations as security‑forward partners by aligning strategic vision with tactical execution, staying ahead of emerging threats in high‑risk, highly regulated sectors.

Mike holds a Ph.D. in Intelligence and Global Security and four master’s degrees in specialized security disciplines. This intelligence‑driven foundation informs his approach: effective security programs must continuously adapt, as yesterday’s assessment is irrelevant against tomorrow’s threats.
