Centralizing sensitive security data

CSA360 streamlines the security operations experience. It empowers users by simplifying complicated tasks, communicating their facilities' data, and providing a constant "360 view" of their team.

Driving outcomes through organizational change

When I joined CSA360, Agile and Waterfall were used in an ineffective blend. I quickly got to work to stop the daily scope changes, to facilitate more effective communication, and to create an environment where all roles in the project were equally valued and protected. My leadership strategy empowers teams to organize, trust, and connect, giving them the tools and motivation they need to succeed.

Building infrastructure to support high-demand teams

While the emotional leadership strategies I implemented brought our team's focus back, there was still a long way to go operationally. I implemented multiple Scrum-based practices, including stand-ups, retrospectives, backlog grooming sessions, and sprints to add the operations infrastructure supporting the team's new motivation. These changes combined rose development efficiency by nearly 150%.

Rapidly prioritizing conflicting interests

We had a team able and ready to work on new features for the first time in months, which made prioritization more important than ever. I worked diligently to balance the high-priority customers that funded our business with known internal needs for market expansion. Even after my official tenure with the company, I returned as a consultant to re-focus operations, evaluate user experience design, and expedite prioritization.
