Work History

Vice President – IT RISK

MSCI
11.2022 - Current

Developed and executed assumed breach scenarios to simulate attacker behavior post-initial access, identifying detection gaps and blind spots across the environment.

Conducted threat hunting campaigns based on breach simulation telemetry, focusing on lateral movement, privilege escalation, and defense evasion patterns.

Collaborated with detection engineering and SOC teams to translate attacker TTPs into actionable detection logic using SIGMA, KQL and YARA rules.

Enhanced threat visibility by enriching and normalizing telemetry data to support high-fidelity detection and hunt operations.

Utilized tools such as Atomic Red Team, MITRE Caldera, and custom scripts to emulate attacker tradecraft and validate telemetry coverage in threat hunts.

Improved detection control effectiveness through a feedback-driven loop: simulation → telemetry validation → detection refinement → proactive hunt execution.

Raised the threat hunting bar by operationalizing threat intelligence and breach simulations into structured, repeatable hunt procedures aligned with MITRE ATT&CK.

Led periodic gap assessments and detection audits, raising the bar for control effectiveness through iterative use case tuning and telemetry refinement.
