THE OKOTOKS INSIGHT: Why 'Big Rock Intelligence'
Like the Okotoks erratic—a massive glacial boulder deposited with precision and purpose—our approach emerged from a fundamental recognition after 25+ years in cybersecurity leadership:
THE FOUNDING INSIGHT:
True enterprise security doesn't come from impenetrable walls. It comes from intelligent fissures that reveal strategic opportunity.
THE METAPHOR BECOMES METHODOLOGY:
- The Rock: Your enterprise's foundational security strength
- The Fissure: AI-powered intelligence pathways that emerge from structure
- The Bridge: Strategic connection between innovation and protection
- The Circuit: Living intelligence systems that create competitive advantage
Every enterprise has foundational strength. The breakthrough comes when AI-powered intelligence emerges from that foundation to bridge innovation with protection.

My Approach: "I believe the role of a security leader isn’t just to mitigate risk—it’s to unlock business value. My approach is boardroom-ready, data-driven, and relentlessly focused on enabling growth, trust, and resilience at every stage of digital transformation."
WHY WE'RE NOT LIKE OTHER CYBERSECURITY ADVISORS
WE'VE SAT IN YOUR SEAT:
After leading cybersecurity transformations at Microsoft, AWS, and Avanade, one pattern became clear: The most successful organizations didn't just protect their foundations—they created intelligence pathways that transformed security from cost center to competitive advantage.
THE ANTI-TEMPLATE APPROACH:
- Others: Apply same frameworks regardless of context → BRI: Architect outcomes specific to your strategic challenges
- Others: Focus on technical team implementation → BRI: Board-level strategic advisory with technical excellence
- Others: US frameworks applied to European challenges → BRI: Regional regulatory intelligence as competitive advantage
- Others: Security as necessary cost → BRI: Security as strategic enabler of AI-powered growth
THE AUTHORITY DIFFERENCE:
"We don't just advise on cybersecurity—we've navigated German regulatory precision, defended €350M+ M&A valuations, and transformed security teams from cost centers into revenue drivers. We know the difference between security theater and strategic advantage."
