A persona that arose in 2017 out of finally giving into getting a twitter handle, being “white-hatted” in Calgary, and attending the a GRC Summit in Dallas. Best of all it makes it easy for folks to find me in a big crowd, just look for the white Smithbilt hat, or occasionally another version of hat depending on the season. You can follow the #RiskWrangler hash tag on LinkedIn for updatesThese days, you can find me on LinkedIn or in one of our many markets working with peers and customers in the Risk management and logistics spaces.FedEx instilled in me the power of diversity, so I also enjoy advocating to bring new stars into Logistics, Risk, and Information Security.

It is the only way we get better!Fine print  <Content here is my own opinion and in no way implies the views of my employer>If you are curious about Calgary White Hats
