  • About Coby

    I built Transparent Edge because I consistently saw a critical disconnect: technical teams and the executive leadership speak entirely different languages. Engineers navigate the complexities of technology, while executives juggle the realities of risk, budget, and growth.

    I act as a strategic bridge between the two. Having worked my way from a network maintainer to an executive security advisor, I have spent my career securing mission-critical infrastructure in highly regulated sectors like Aerospace, Defense, and FinTech.

    I help organizations navigate complex compliance landscapes like CMMC, SOC 2, and PCI DSS without sacrificing agility. Whether I am architecting secure-by-design environments, evaluating M&A security postures, or providing clarity to non-technical stakeholders, my mission is simple: uncomplicate cybersecurity so you can confidently grow your business.
