• Control the Stack: Own Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, and Autopilot, keeping the entire device fleet compliant and audit-ready (NIS2, ISO 27001).
• Set the Standard: Define and enforce access control, patching, backup, and incident response policies across the organization.
• Enable Every Team: Be the go-to for First- to Third-Level Support from onboarding and device setup to rapid troubleshooting under operational pressure.
• Build for Scale: Conduct capacity planning, security assessments, and pen test coordination as we grow our infrastructure and mission footprint.
