Acquisition-Grade Security and IP Remediation

Took over a portfolio-wide security and IP function at Spirent in spring 2024 after the first attempt had been rebuffed by the programs within a month. Built a single narrative and playbook that used the contested Keysight and Viavi acquisition as the forcing function. Landed every program at zero critical vulnerabilities and clean license posture by Q2 2025, months before final diligence closed.
