EXECUTIVE PROFILE
20+ Years of Mission-Critical Leadership & Digital Transformation
THE FOUNDATION OF ELAM CONSULTING
CTO-Level Strategy, Engineer-Level Execution
I am an award-winning technology leader and CISSP, specializing in guiding global teams to modernize complex, highly regulated enterprise applications. My career has focused on leading large-scale engineering transformation, delivering over $20M in confirmed cost avoidance, and ensuring strategic compliance across all platforms.
My unique background includes co-founding the DoD Ethical AI Board, which establishes secure governance for emerging Generative AI technologies. This experience ensures that Elam Consulting provides not just high-velocity delivery, but also strategic foresight necessary for managing critical compliance and future platform risk.
