IAM and AI Governance Consultant, Common Ground
I help organizations understand where their identity programs stand and what to do next, through focused assessments, vendor evaluations, and realistic roadmaps.
Focused engagements built on twelve years of hands-on IAM work, each producing something concrete your team can act on.
AI tools are being adopted faster than the controls around them can keep up. This assessment examines how your organization governs AI adoption: what your agents and tooling can access, where accountability gaps sit, and what your controls need to do to close them. The underlying questions are familiar territory for anyone with deep IAM and Zero Trust experience.
A program-level evaluation of your identity posture across IGA, PAM, CIAM, and access governance. You get an honest picture of where your program stands, where the meaningful gaps are, and prioritized recommendations you can act on. My deepest offering, backed by enterprise engagements at clients such as Chick-fil-A, Crate and Barrel, and Vanderbilt University.
Evaluating IAM platforms is hard without having implemented them. This engagement delivers a vendor-neutral evaluation built on real implementation experience with leading IGA and PAM platforms, and solid familiarity with the broader access management landscape. The comparison is grounded in how these tools behave in production, not what they do in a demo.
A time-boxed engagement that produces a sequenced, realistic IAM roadmap. For organizations that know they have identity work to do but need help ordering it intelligently given technical dependencies, resource constraints, and risk priorities. A defined engagement, a defined output: a roadmap your team can execute.
I've spent my career building and assessing identity and access programs, including client work for AT&T, Crate and Barrel, and Vanderbilt University.
My technical depth is in SailPoint IdentityIQ, Microsoft Entra ID, and CyberArk, with real implementation experience in each including an Entra ID migration at AT&T scale. I have broad familiarity across the IAM landscape but do not claim implementation depth in every platform I can help you evaluate.
I work best in small sessions and hands-on collaboration, not advisory at a distance. If you need someone who gets into the actual system and tells you honestly what needs to change and in what order, that is where I am most useful.
Whether you have an active program or are just starting to think through your options, I am happy to talk through what you are facing.
Thanks — I'll be in touch soon.
