A Message From the Founder
I spent over two decades leading at the intersection of risk and consequence: in senior law enforcement leadership, in international affairs representing U.S. interests abroad, and most recently running trust and safety operations across the Middle East, North Africa, the U.S., and Canada for a global technology company.
I founded PillarsCourt because knowing your risk isn’t enough. You need a partner who has managed it, in the field, under pressure, at scale, and who brings that same standard to every engagement: investigator-grade rigor, operational discipline, and judgment shaped by real crises, not case studies. Whether we are securing an operation, preparing a team, or guiding a critical decision, I deliver the same outcome: protect what you’ve built, and clear the way for what’s next.
