Executive Ghostwriting & Thought Leadership

​

Tanium FedCyber Exchange Thought Leadership Annual Recap (Tanium Blog)

Articles:

​

Notes:

  • I ghost wrote and collaborated on each of these yearly recap blogs on behalf of Tanium’s VP for Public Sector Technical Account Management, Matt Marsden (2023), VP for Public Sector Engineering and Customer Success, Aaron Smith (2024), and Executive Client Advisor, Kyle Dewar (2026).

  • The goal of these blogs are to continue driving the essential narratives from our annual federal user conference. Key messaging focused on positioning Tanium as a dedicated resource to solving mission-critical cybersecurity trends impacting civilian and defense agencies while highlighting key government leadership insights.

​​

Securing the Front Lines of Care: Why Cyber Resilience is Essential to Modern Healthcare in Canada (Pulse Check) — 10.1.25

 

Notes:

  • I ghost wrote this on behalf of Tanium Director of Solution Engineering, Serge Charette, for GCN's annual report, Pulse Check: The State of Cybersecurity in Canadian Healthcare.

  • Unlike the U.S. healthcare system, Canada's system is part of its public sector infrastructure which our marketing team also supported.

  • Adding relevancy, I honed in on several key data points and trends facing Canadian healthcare providers on both the federal and provincial levels, while subtly driving key pain points linked back to areas of platform capabilities aligned with Tanium's solutions portfolio

​

Tanium XEM and ROI: A Powerful Duo for Government Cybersecurity (Tanium Blog) — 9.14.23

 

Notes:

  • I ghost wrote this on behalf of Tanium’s Public Sector CIO, Chris Cruz.

  • The goal of this post was to capitalize on Cruz’ clout as a former state CIO/CISO as part of a partnership nurture campaign with Carahsoft.

 

Drowning in Data? Endpoint Security “Lifeguard” Strategies Can Help (Tanium Blog) — 8.28.23

 

Notes:

  • I ghost wrote this on behalf of Tanium’s Southeast Director of Strategic Sales, Tev Sanders.

  • This was written as part of a field marketing campaign narrative our coastal SLED teams were working on.

 

How Russia’s War on Ukraine Has Converged Cybersecurity Across Homeland and National Security (Homeland Security Today) — 4.8.23

 

Notes:

  • I personally pitched and ghost wrote three quarters of this 1,600+ word article in partnership with Tanium Public Sector Director of Technical Account Management, Sam Kinch, who is a strategic leader extensively versed in both federal and SLED markets. Kinch added his personal touches to the article that led to its final word count.

  • This article was able to subtly cover key Tanium solution themes and messaging that crossed both federal and SLED related initiatives.

  • Strategic DHS leadership directives and activities were heavily researched when writing this article to provide clout.

  • As a result, Sam was personally encouraged to contribute further editorials by HS Today's editor.

​

Building a whole-of-state approach to cybersecurity (Security Magazine) — 1.5.23

 

Notes:

  • I ghost wrote this on behalf of Tanium's Public Sector CIO, Chris Cruz.

  • This article consistently appeared in top Google/Bing search placement ranking results for several variants of the phrase “whole-of-state” for over three years.

​

Celebrating Black History Month – 13 Federal Innovators and Changemakers That Have Shaped Government Technology (LinkedIn Pulse) — 2.11.21

 

Notes:

  • I strategically pitched and ghost wrote this blog on behalf of Teddra Thomas Burgess as part of a freelance contract assignment during her time as VP of Northeast and U.S. Federal for ASG Technologies.

  • Before writing this post, Burgess was only personally connected to three of the individuals listed on LinkedIn. As a result, six additional leaders from this list would reach out to connect with Burgess on LinkedIn, among other leaders, significantly increasing her personal influence with high-level federal IT leadership.

​

A Salute to Grace Hopper, the Grandmother of COBOL (LinkedIn Pulse) — 12.9.2019

 

Notes:

  • I strategically pitched and ghost wrote this blog on behalf of Micro Focus Government Solutions Chief Revenue Officer, Teddra Thomas Burgess.

  • This blog has reached 75,000+ people, received 14,270+ reactions, 819 reshares, and 686 comments.

  • As a result, Burgess gained more than 55 high-level federal IT contacts on LinkedIn.​​

  • Today, this blog is considered a trusted aggregation source for Google AI overview (AEO) answers on the subject.

​

NACHA on the Hill: Same Day ACH, the Financial CHOICE Act, Faster Payments Education (LinkedIn Pulse) — 7.16.2017

 

Note:

  • I proposed and drafted this NACHA Associate Managing Director for Government Affairs, William Sullivan

​​

​

Articles & Feature Writing

​

Claude Mythos advances autonomous exploit development: What agencies can do to prepare (NextGov/FCW) — 4.30.26

 

Note:

  • When Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview broke as a major federal cybersecurity story, I secured and wrote this sponsored article on NextGov/FCW covering the launch, featuring commentary from Tanium thought leadership and other industry voices, run at no incremental cost against existing ad spend our digital team had already allocated with the publication.

​

Education Sector Ransomware Report Coverage Series

Articles:

 

Notes:

  • I researched, pitched, and wrote the initial narrative for this article series, coordinating all thought leadership contacts and partnering with our Focal Point magazine editorial team (Kristin Burnham and Jo Amodio) to produce the final article series.

  • This series allowed us to capitalize on driving the story around recent ransomware report data from a strategic partner alliance (Tanium was a member of K12 SIX, which is a sub-ISAC of GRF), while also building relationships with key thought leaders from K12 SIX and ICIT (both quoted).
