Founder · ex-bank IT executive and CISO
// currently
Taking on two fractional CISO / CTO clients this quarter.
Two decades of IT and security leadership inside regulated financial institutions — bank IT strategy, CISO‑level program design, infrastructure and network engineering, cloud modernization, and recent hands‑on work across AI governance and on‑chain settlement in systems that need to protect customer funds.
The pattern keeps repeating: vendors pitch the C‑suite, projects stall in compliance review, and engineering teams are left translating ambition into something a regulator will accept. DAPL Corp exists to compress that gap — a fractional security executive who has also run the infrastructure, strategy and architecture scoped in weeks, written deliverables a board can defend, and an engineering bench that builds what the plan calls for.
The other half of the practice is the mirror image: helping digital‑asset firms pass the diligence banks put them through, because I spent those years on the bank's side of that table.
How we work
Retainers have an hours cap and a monthly fee. Packaged engagements have a duration and a fixed fee agreed before work starts. Scope changes are written, not surprised.
Every engagement ends with a document your team can defend without us in the room. Slides only when a board needs one.
For deep technical execution we bring in specialists from our bench. Every rate is written into the SOW before work starts.
DAPL Corp is a Wyoming C‑corporation. Standard MSA, SOW, and mutual NDA are ready to send after the first call.
Bring the version of the problem you can't say out loud yet. Thirty minutes, no pitch.
