I am the [extremely proud] author of three books focused on leadership, transformation, and everyday security in a modern, AI-driven world:
-
The Capability Debt: Why AI Is Exposing What Organizations Never Built
An exploration of how AI is revealing long‑standing gaps in organizational capability, and what leaders must do to address structural, cultural, and operational debt in order to transform successfully.
-
Security for Grown-Ups: Staying Safe Online Without Losing Your Mind
A conversational, plain‑language guide to digital security—designed to help non‑technical audiences understand risk, make better decisions, and stay safe without fear or jargon.
-
Seatbelts, Not Force Fields: Why Organizations Get It Wrong—and What Actually Makes Them Safer
This one is being reviewed right now, so is "COMING SOON." It explores how modern organizations mistake certainty, compliance, and visibility for real security—and why that confusion leads to predictable failure. It offers a systems-level approach to security that provides judgment, resilience, and designing for human reality.
