The mandate

Leading digital strategy through identity security's most consequential moment.

CyberArk is the global leader in identity security and privileged access management. I led digital strategy and development across web modernization, generative-AI content operations, and search dominance — as a core member of CyberArk's AI Innovation Circle.

The work spanned a composable, AI-aware web platform, the Venafi machine-identity integration, an SEO/AIO program that held #1 across identity-security search, and an agentic content engine built in Microsoft Copilot Studio.

Then came the defining test: packaging the entire demand engine — 40+ MarTech platforms and 9.5M annual sessions — for a $26B acquisition by Palo Alto Networks, with zero pipeline interruption.

The approach

Six pillars behind a category-defining digital engine.

Each case study below is one move inside a larger transformation. These are the threads that tie them together.

AI content intelligence

Agentic automation in Microsoft Copilot Studio — and a seat in CyberArk's AI Innovation Circle — turning signal into publish-ready briefs before competitors notice.

Search dominance — SEO · AIO · AEO

A dual-track strategy holding identity-security keywords at #1 while becoming the cited source across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude.

M&A digital readiness

The transition model and pipeline defense that carried CyberArk's demand engine intact into a $26B Palo Alto Networks acquisition.

Composable web architecture

Scalable, AI-aware platforms on Jamstack and headless foundations — performance and governance built for enterprise scale.

Multi-brand integration

Unifying the Venafi machine-identity portfolio into CyberArk — four sites into one coherent identity-security story.

Demand engine & MarTech

A 40+ platform ecosystem — Marketo, Demandbase, TrustArc — forensically mapped and kept running through live migration.
